CLI Overview

The lip CLI is the primary interface for managing packages. It provides commands for installing, updating, and managing dependencies.

Global Options

Option	Description
`-h, --help`	Show help for `lip` or for a command (e.g. `lip install --help`).
`-v, --version`	Print the version of `lip`.

lip without arguments opens the interactive interface when it runs in a terminal, and prints help otherwise (in a script or a pipe).

Some commands accept --json to print their result as JSON: config get, config list, daemon status and list. pkg view always prints JSON.

setup, install, uninstall and update install the packages of the platform win-x64 into the workspace, whatever system lip runs on (see Environment); the Linux server is the variant github.com/LiteLDev/bds#linux. setup chooses the game (the server) and the loader (LeviLamina) of the workspace; install and update never change them. lip manages server workspaces only.

Commands

Commands for running a server:

lip cache clean: Clean the local cache.
lip config: Get, set, list, and delete configuration values.
lip install: Install packages.
lip list: List installed packages.
lip run: Run the server of the workspace.
lip self-update: Update lip itself to its latest release.
lip setup: Choose the game and the loader of the workspace.
lip uninstall: Uninstall packages.
lip update: Update packages.

Every command except lip daemon is carried out by the daemon of lip, a background process of your user that the first command starts; it behaves exactly as if the lip you started carried it out. The command group daemon shows and stops it:

lip daemon status: Show whether the daemon runs.
lip daemon stop: Stop the daemon.

Commands for developing packages, in the command group pkg:

lip pkg init: Create a lip.toml for a new package.
lip pkg migrate: Migrate the tooth.json of lip v0.x in the current directory to lip.toml.
lip pkg pack: Pack a directory into a ZIP archive.
lip pkg view: Show the package file and the versions of a package.

lip pkg --help, lip cache --help, lip config --help and lip daemon --help show the commands of a group. Earlier versions of lip had lip init, lip pack, lip view, lip versions and lip migrate; they are now lip pkg init, lip pkg pack, lip pkg view (which also lists the versions) and lip pkg migrate.
