Installation

Remo can be downloaded from the developer's site at http://remo.netnea.com. The application is written in the web application framework Ruby on Rails (RoR), and hence requires that Ruby is first installed before you can begin using it. Ruby is the programming language used to create Remo, and the actual web application framework—the "on Rails" bit—is also required. Fortunately, this is distributed together with Remo, so as long as you have Ruby installed and working you should be all set to start using Remo. Let's take a look now at how to install Remo.

The latest packaged release of Remo is version 0.2.0 beta, which is what we'll be downloading:
