Typically this script is installed as either jlrun.jl
or jlrun
. It should
be given the executable permission and placed somewhere in your PATH.
Note,
this script only needs to be installed in your path. It can be named whatever
you want although jlrun.jl
or just jlrun
are what I tested it with.
The script usage is as follows:
$ jlrun <package>[/<script>] ...
...where <package>
name is a Julia package installed in the current
environment and <script>
is an optional script name to run (by default, the
run
script is used if no script is specified). The ...
represents any
additional command line arguments which will be passed to the underlying script.
When invoked, jlrun
find the location of the specified <package>
in the
current environment. It then looks for a scripts
directory in that package
and expects to find a file named <script>.jl
in that directory. It then runs
that scripts and appends the additional command line arguments (e.g., ...
).
Note that the script itself is run under the environment of that package. This means it should have access to all dependencies specified by that package (and only those dependencies).
$ jlrun Runlit --size 10
This will run the scripts/run.jl
script found in the Runlit
package and
using the command line arguments --size 10
.
$ jlrun Runlit/alt
This will run the scripts/alt.jl
script found in the Runlit
package but
without any command line arguments.
