PiCrate is both a `library` and an `app` that allows you to create [processing][processing] sketches in ruby on the [RaspberryPI][PI] (or 64 bit linux). PiCrate is available as a gem (from [rubygems][rubygems]), it requires [JRuby][jruby] to both install and run. It does not depend on a vanilla processing install ( _cf_ JRubyArt).

#### Executable ####

The executable is `picrate`, which can be used to install samples (and configure [GeanyIDE][geany]) and some processing libraries

#### Library ###

Your PiCrate sketches need to `require` the `picrate` library, and can be run with `jruby`.

* Command line interface (typically using vim as editor)

* Gui interface, sketches can be run from [GeanyIDE][geany]
