Command-line usage

The Anduril command line tool is anduril. It uses a sub-command syntax: anduril COMMAND args.

To see all commands, type: anduril -h. It prints the following commands. Some commands are for end users and some for developers who extend Anduril.

- build: Build Anduril engine and/or component bundles
- build-doc: Generate component and API documentation in HTML format.
- doc: Print component documentation
- install: Install and build Anduril engine, environment and/or external component bundles
- install-dep: Install libraries and external resources for Anduril and bundles.
- run: Run workflow
- shell: Run extra shell commands in an Anduril environment (for advanced usage)
- test: Run test cases for components
- test-workflow: Run test cases for test workflows

To see options for a specific sub-command (such as run), type: anduril run -h.

Running workflows

How to construct workflows is covered in the Section Creating workflows. For now, let’s assume we have the following workflow in the file workflow.scala:

#!/usr/bin/env anduril

import anduril.builtin._
import anduril.tools._
import org.anduril.runtime._

object HelloWorld {
  info("Beginning workflow construction")
  val helloWorld = BashEvaluate(script = "echo Hello world!")
  info("Ending workflow construction")
}

To run a workflow stored in workflow.scala, type: anduril run workflow.scala.

If the workflow source file starts with a Unix shebang line #!/usr/bin/env anduril (as above), you can alternatively just run: ./workflow.scala. Ensure that the .scala file is executable (chmod +x workflow.scala).

You can pass several options to anduril run that modify workflow execution. For example:

Installing and updating bundles

To install a new component bundle, type anduril install BUNDLE-NAME. Example: anduril install tools. To see available bundles, run anduril install -h. By default, a stable release version is installed. To install a potentially unstable development version, add the --dev flag.

To install external dependencies of the bundles you have installed, use anduril install-dep -b BUNDLE-NAME. As this command installs global dependencies, you need to provide either --sudo (if your user account has sudo privileges) or --admin (if you are running as root). You can specify component names with -c. Example: anduril install-dep -b tools -c Rsync -c KaplanMeier --sudo installs dependencies for the Rsync and KaplanMeier components, and invokes sudo when needed.

To update an installed bundle, type: anduril build -u BUNDLE-NAME. Example: anduril build -u tools. You can update the Anduril core using: anduril build -u anduril.

Generating component documentation

To generate component documentation locally in HTML format, type: anduril build-doc --component bundle-doc.
