Unfortunately no Mac OS 12 and 13 M1 VMs are available anymore with any of the free CI providers to build a binary package for that platform.
Fedora 39 packages have been removed as the wxRuby3 project by default only provides packages for a distributions last 2 releases.

How to install

gem install wxruby3

See the INSTALL documentation for more details.
Binary packages for major platforms are available as release assets on Github.
