How to Install the ACAP Validator

1. Download and install Ruby programming language. ACAP Validator is implemented in Ruby, which is available on a wide variety of platforms, and is one of the leading scripting languages available today.
2. Download the library. AcapValidator is currently available as a library invoked by a command-line script.
3. Unzip the file into a directory of your choice. You’ll find it contains the following four files:

AcapValidator.bat
validate_acap.rb
AcapValidator-0.0.5.gem
new.txt

4. Execute the following Ruby command:

   gem install AcapValidator-0.0.5.gem

5. Now you can test the installation by executing the command:

   AcapValidator new.txt.

New.txt is the ACAP file we’ve been using in this document.

Now you’re ready to validate your own ACAP access control file.
