title: What is the best way to package a Ruby on Rails Application?
body: <p>So I have created a ruby on rails application that functions as a basic calculator. Now I want to package this application up, upload to github, download onto Jenkins, and create a Jenkins job that will run this ruby application. </p>
  
  <p>Normally if this was a Java Application, you would package it as a jar file and then run the jar file. What would I package this Ruby application as? </p>
  
  <p>I thought about packaging this application as a Ruby Gem, but aren't Ruby Gems mainly for when you want to use your ruby app inside of another ruby application? I want to run this app as a stand alone application.</p>
  
  <p>Even if I were to package the Ruby on Rails app as a Ruby Gem, how would I run the gem as a stand alone gem? What would be the command to run it as such from the command line?</p>
