[Archivesspace_Users_Group] archivesspace newbie questions

[Esha Datta]

Thanks for your email. I got the gem to install as you had mentioned;
however, I'm not sure how to get pry-remote to work. I see the message:

[java] [pry-remote] Waiting for client on druby://127.0.0.1:9876

But, when I try to do pry-remote in the terminal, I get a bash error:
command not found. I googled around trying to see how to run pry-remote
within jruby and didn't find anything of value. These are the commands I
tried:

1. pry-remote: Got an error: -bash: pry-remote: command not found

2. ./scripts/jruby -S pry-remote. Error: jruby: No such file or directory
-- pry (LoadError)

Thanks for your help!
