I see code for ‘ok’ and ‘critical’ as returns functions

See this [https://github.com/sensu-plugins/sensu-pluginvi](https://github.com/sensu-plugins/sensu-pluginvi)

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require ‘sensu-plugin/check/cli’

class MyCheck \< Sensu::Plugin::Check::CLI

def run  
**ok** “All is well”  
end

end

test=MyCheck.new()  
test.run()

and get these errors:

./test.rb

/usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/core\_ext/kernel\_require.rb:55:in `require’: cannot load such file – sensu-plugin/check/cli (LoadError)

```
    from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'

    from ./test.rb:3:in `<main>'

```

See somewhere a gem install sensu-plugins which freezes when i run it.

Can someone point the way? Many thanks!

Tried cloning sensu-plugins and doing a gem install sensu-plugins this produced three gems in the /usr/local… from there was able to run the script seen above without errors. Does not need creation of an object like test, btw.

Instead of doing #!/usr/bin/env ruby also you could point it towards the system installed sensu binary.
