N|Solid Quickstart

This is a CLI tool intended to be executed using NPX. It can run a program using N|Solid automatically launching a Console to monitor it. The tool will download and cache the Runtime and Console. It uses the N|Solid bundle so it includes all supported LTS versions and the user can pick which one they wish to run.

The basic syntax is:

1. To execute a JavaScript file directly:

$ npx nsolid-quickstart --exec index.js

2. To execute an NPM task in a project:

$ npx nsolid-quickstart --npm dev

Commands

• help: print the command help
• clean: remove all cached assets

Options

• --log: print the Console log in the terminal
• --demo: launch a demo application in the console
• --file: use a local bundle in tar format, useful for RC releases
• --license: pass an N|Solid license key directly to avoid the authentication at the Console
• --lts: select the Node LTS version to run, it could be: boron, carbon, dubnium or erbium by default
• --npm: specify the NPM task to execute an application to launch it
• --exec: specify the JavaScript file to execute and launch an application
• --remote: connect a local process to a remote console specifying the NSOLID_COMMAND value here
• --saas: connect a local process to a console in the N|Solid SaaS infrastructure specifying the NSOLID_SAAS value here
• --version: specify a fixed version of N|Solid to run
