Then, run bundle exec rake spec to run the tests.
You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install.
To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release,
which will create a git tag for the version,
push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
