let's try to run it on heroku ;)

not an issue, more a feature request

what would be the steps to install your bindings on a machine, that

does not allow you to install anything the usual way ( you're not root, there's no apt-get or anything, and no, you're not allowed to install anything to /usr/lib, /usr/local or similar, so the gem install ropencv just won't work )
you only got curl, git, and g++ at your hands (well , yikes, that means building even cmake from scratch..).

again, imho, you're doing great, take this more as an additional sportive challenge ;)

(and again, - while most of opencv requirements pretty much assume, you own the machine, ruby, being more a web-dev language might challenge that idea, no ?)

btw, if you want your wrapper merged into opencv_contrib, focus on supporting opencv3.0 (only. 2.4.x does not seem to be relevant/supported there at all)

The master branch is compatible with OpenCV 3.0. There is also a pull request for integrating ruby bindings into opencv_contrib https://github.com/Itseez/opencv_contrib/pull/116.

gem install can be used without having sudo rights by setting the environment variables GEM_HOME (install location) and GEM_PATH (gems locations / should include GEM_HOME)

I am not an expert in using opencv with heroku but I guess https://github.com/hdachev/heroku-buildpack-opencv would be a good starting point.
