Installation

RuboCop’s installation is pretty standard:

$ gem install rubocop

If you’d rather install RuboCop using bundler, don’t require it in your Gemfile:

gem 'rubocop', require: false

RuboCop’s development is moving at a very rapid pace and there are often backward-incompatible changes between minor releases (since we haven’t reached version 1.0 yet). To prevent an unwanted RuboCop update you might want to use a conservative version locking in your Gemfile:

gem 'rubocop', '~> 0.85.1', require: false

You can check out our progress on the road to version 1.0 here. You can also help us get there faster! :-)
