CLI

The editor can also be used in a command-line interface (CLI) mode.
This can be useful to build projects automatically and without requiring user interactions / a GPU to be present.
Common use-cases are:

• Build Task in an IDE (e.g. when only editing C++ code)

• CI/CD pipelines

• Remote building on a server

To see all available CLI options, run:

./pyrite64 --help

As an example: to build a given project you can run:

./pyrite64 --cli --cmd build /path/to/project.p64proj

Tip

It’s perfectly safe to run the CLI while the visual editor is open

If no arguments are given, or only the path to a project file, the visual editor will be launched instead.
