How do I create a ruby application?
One way around this limitation is to also include a ruby interpreter along with your source code. There are some projects out there that attempt to do just that, each with their own limitations and degrees of success. One such project is https://github.com/pmq20/ruby-packer. With this, you can give it your ruby code and it will bundle it up with a ruby interpreter so that you can hand out a single executable file to run.

Ruby through the lens of Go
Go has been used at Flipp for some time now, although not widely in my team. I wanted to use Go to create a command-line executable, something that Ruby unfortunately isn't capable of doing. (There are options, such as ruby-packer, but it seems like a "heavy" solution and doesn't seem to fit the Ruby paradigm.)

I've had more success with a similar tool, called ocra [1]

Do I need to pay to distribute my free software for Windows?
So, the problem I have is quite complicated... I'm packaging a Ruby application. I'm using Ocra for this. What it does is create a self-extracting compressed file containing the Ruby interpreter, any gems and your scripts. This self-extracting behavior is most likely what sometimes triggers the antivirus. Searching for answers in the Ocra GitHub issues, I found posts saying that it will eventually happen and there's no way to definitively fix it. I don't know of any other simple ways to distribute Ruby applications unfortunately.
