Class Anvil::Console
In: anvilties/lib/console.rb
Parent: Object

The Anvil Command Line Console

Anvil‘s console has several uses. By default it is used to start the application when it is called within the application directory. Example: 

  cd /path/to/your/app
  anvil

When provided a string value without spaces, a fresh anvil applications is created: 

  cd /path/to/your
  anvil app
  cd app
  anvil

Those commands should give you a fresh application and fire up a blank window

For additional help, you can run 

  anvil -h
