You are missing the entire point of what Colin is telling you. From what you describe, you are trying to do the following:

1. Download the JS from a data source.
2. Reconstruct the DOM using a JS driver like Chrome or PhantomJS.
3. Parse the DOM with Nokogiri or similar
4. Use the data you gather

Colin is recommending that you download the JS and parse it directly for the data you require. This will not require a driver of any kind, you are simply reading the data as JSON, which is a valid interchange format that Ruby can read directly using the standard library.
