`expect.rb` is part of the `pty` extension to the Ruby stdlib since it uses `select` and is meant for use with things like pipes or terminals and Windows does not allow for selecting on those sorts of handles. Since we only use it for sockets, we can pull it in straight to allow for use on Windows without building the whole `pty` extension.

Installing
Generally, you should use the free installer, which contains all of the dependencies and will get you up and running with a few clicks. See the Dev Environment Setup if you'd like to deal with dependencies on your own.
Using Metasploit
Metasploit can do all sorts of things. The first thing you'll want to do
is start msfconsole, but after that, you'll probably be best served by
reading Metasploit Unleashed, the great community
resources, or the wiki.
Contributing
See the Dev Environment Setup guide on GitHub, which will walk you through the whole process from installing all the dependencies, to cloning the repository, and finally to submitting a pull request. For slightly more information, see Contributing.
