Installing Iowa
Installation is a trivial process. First, download the package. It can found at Rubyforge.org. Once the package has been downloaded, unpack it. Inside the created directory is an install.rb. Simply run:
ruby install.rb
The Iowa library files will be installed.
For RubyGems users a gemspec should be available shortly for installing Iowa, as well.
Iowa uses the excellent log4r package for logging. If you do not have this package, you will have to download it and install it, as well.
Once you have installed Iowa, you may test it by trying to run a demo application from the examples/ directory:
cd examples/webrick/iowa ruby webrick_iowa.rb
Then point your web browser at http://localhost:2000 and you should see something!
