Ruby needs an interface into the JavaScript runtime, which libv8 provides. Node is a different concept entirely (though it too needs such an interface, which internally V8 provides). You can see this here: https://github.com/joseph/ruby-clean-css/blob/master/lib/ruby-clean-css/compressor.rb#L41-L45 If you have a Node project, you may just want the Clean-CSS JavaScript library. If you have a Ruby project, you want Ruby-Clean-CSS and its deps. Node itself does not act as a JS engine. Cheers, â J Thanks. O.D.

Also it's better to just install nodejs if what you need is execjs' javascript runtime. -bash-4.2$ CXX=/usr/local/bin/eg++ GEM_HOME="$HOME/app/rubygems" gem install libv8 Building native extensions. This could take a while... ...a long time with hopefully expected result but I stopped because it's running in a low end box... alternatively, install libv8 package and tell gem installer to use system libv8 library as per documentation: -bash-4.2$ GEM_HOME="$HOME/app/rubygems" gem install libv8 -- --with-system-v8 Fetching: libv8-3.16.14.7.gem (100%) Building native extensions with: '--with-system-v8' This could take a while...
