Ruby

The PostalMethods Ruby Gem is published at GitHub and RubyForge.

Unix

• Make sure you have a working Ruby and gem service and that you have permissions to 'sudo'
• In 'Terminal', run this command: “sudo gem install postalmethods”

Windows

Initiating an instance of the ruby client, with which you can utilize all further actions, is similar in all PostalMethods API commands:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby 
require 'rubygems'
require 'postalmethods'
options = {:username => 'REPLACE', :password => 'THESE'}
client = PostalMethods::Client.new(options)
client.prepare!
