Installation Guide

Requirements

• Ruby 3.2.0 or higher
• Bundler

Install via Bundler

Add Vectra to your Gemfile:

gem 'vectra-client'

Then run:

bundle install

Install Standalone

Alternatively, install via RubyGems:

gem install vectra-client

Rails Integration

For Rails applications, run the install generator:

rails generate vectra:install

This will create an initializer file at config/initializers/vectra.rb.
