You can install ruby by downloading the source code for ruby 1.8.7. Ruby's packaging system, RubyGems, should be installed as well. It can be obtained here.
MacFUSE can be downloaded here.
Installation
There is no install procedure for Vegas at this time, but you can run it directly out of the source directory.
First, ensure that you have bundler installed:
$ gem install bundler
All other ruby depenencies can then be installed with the bundle command.
$ bundle install
Running
In depth instructions are available in the project document, but in short, you first create the directory you want to mount vegas to
$ mkdir t
then mount it with the vegas script:
$ ruby -rubygems -Ilib bin/vegas mount t
You can then access the system through the normal command line tools:
$ cat t/user/agentjose1.txt
