16== What is Rake
17
18Rake is a build tool similar to the make program in many ways. But
19instead of cryptic make recipes, Rake uses standard Ruby code to
20declare tasks and dependencies. You have the full power of a modern
21scripting language built right into your build tool.

25The easiest way to get and install rake is via RubyGems ...
