1. Installation

Install the package (or add it to your requirements.txt file):

# From source
$ invoke install

# or
# install in user space
$ ./install -u

#install it globally
$ ./install

# From repository
$ pip install lcli

# or simply install it using python in root of the repository
$ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python -m pip install . --user

Note

Note that form this point on there are two options to use lcli

• Configure the build in cli to support your custom cli commands, and expose better API for the existing commands. See Configuration
• Build your own cli application by extending python package as in example bellow

# Build your own cli application
import os
from lcli.app import App

class YourOwnApp(App):
    pass

def main():
    try:
        project_root_path = os.path.realpath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
        app = YourOwnApp(app_path=project_root_path)
        app.run()
    except Exception as error:
        # process errors


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
