If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

gem install levenshtein_rust

LevenshteinLite.distance("la", "là") # => 1

You'll need to have a recent Rust compiler installed.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Next, run rake compile to build the Rust code. Then, run 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 the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
