Installation

Regardless of where you place the box binary, the first time you execute it, a .CommandBox folder will be created in your user's home directory and CommandBox will be extracted into that location. If you delete this directory, it will be replaced the next time the CommandBox executable is run. == Windows == Unzip the executable '''box.exe''' and just double click on it to open the shell. When you are finished running commands, you can just close the window, or type exit.

'''Tip''': You can make the box available in any Windows terminal by adding its location to the '''PATH''' system environment variable. See [http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm]

== Mac/*Unix == === Manual Installation === Unzip the binary '''box''' and just double click on it to open the shell. When you are finished running commands, you can just close the window, or type exit.

'''Tip''': You can place the binary in your /usr/bin directory so it can be available system-wide via the box command in any terminal window.

=== Homebrew (Mac) === Homebrew is a great Mac package manager, it can easily install and keep your CommandBox installation up to date, just run the following:


brew install https://github.com/Ortus-Solutions/commandbox/raw/master/build/commandbox.rb
Once we reach stable version, we will be submitting CommandBox to the Homebrew Binary Tap, for even easier installation.

== Linux (Redhat) == After you have downloaded the .rpm file, install it using the "rpm" command.

rpm –ivh commandbox-rpm-1.0.0.rpm

Run the box binary to begin the one-time unpack process. == Linux (Debian) == After you have downloaded the .deb file, install it using the "dpkg" command.

sudo dpkg -i commandbox-debian-1.0.0.deb

Run the box binary to begin the one-time unpack process.
