# Bess In order to simplify and make Houdini extensible, we move some of Houdini's setup and configuration into a separate Gem. We call this support library Bess, in honor of Harry Houdini's wife and long-time assistant, [Bess Houdini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bess_Houdini). ## Usage Everything you can get via `Bess` is accessible via the `Houdini` module in the main houdini app. ## Installation This really should only be used in Houdini itself for now. ```ruby gem 'bess', path: 'gems/bess' ``` And then execute: ```bash $ bundle ```
