Frank,
To be blunt, RTFM re: Ruby. If you're running OS X, Ruby comes
installed on Tiger (1.8.2) and Leopard (1.8.6). If you're on any
flavor of Linux, apt or yum are your friends. For Windows, there are
one-click installers. After one Google search ("installing Ruby"), I
came across this link: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/. It has
plenty of information on how to install Ruby on the popular operating
systems, and if all else fails, you could build it yourself.
Once you get Ruby installed, it's as easy as, again, reading the
manual. Under the Blueprint CSS wiki Tutorials page (http://
github.com/joshuaclayton/blueprint-css/wikis/tutorials), there's a
link to "Blueprint’s compress.rb: A Walkthrough", which coincidentally
walks through how the Ruby script works. The walkthrough is located
here: http://jdclayton.com/blueprints_compress_a_walkthrough.html.
I'm sorry for the brash nature of this response, but I'm sick of
developers not doing *any* sort of reading when using a new tool,
determining the feasibility of using and/or porting it, and
investigating to see if any solutions already exist.
Although unsupported (it's running an older version of Blueprint
{v0.7.1, to be exact}), there is a grid generator that does similar
things to the Ruby script available online at
http://kematzy.com/blueprint-generator/.
Again, this is completely unsupported by the Blueprint team, so if
something breaks or all your sites look like crap in IE6 because you
used this tool, it's on you.
If you have any problems installing Ruby, there are plenty of
tutorials online or you could head into the #ruby channel in IRC
(freenode) and ask for help.
As for the compress.rb, I suggest you read my walkthrough. It lays
out all the different combinations and options you can set and is
pretty straightforward.
Cheers, and best of luck,
Josh
