A command line application (CLI) for creating and managing Rune (rune-sdk) based projects.

rune-tools can be executed with two possible flags:

• rune-tools --help: To print the man page.
• rune-tools --version: To print current version of rune-tools.

Rune-tools contains three subcommands:

• create [-a=APP] [-d=DEV] [-b=BUILD]: Create new projects. This includes tedious tasks such as creating folders and file structures.
  • -a, --application: App-ID, example: myApp.
  • -d, --developer: Developer-ID, example: vectorpanic.
  • -b, --build: Build version, example: 1.0.0.
• update: Updates the project's Rune version to the latest build.
• compile [-r]: Compiles data files (images, audio files, XML/JSON files, etc..) into a bundle.
  • -r, --resource: Include URI, not Base64.

Install with npm:

npm install -g rune-tools

Or download the source code and use npm link to create a symlink from rune-tools to npm's global folder. Example:

npm link ./rune-tools

The following command creates a new project folder named MyApp, by developer com.example of version 1.0.0.

rune-tools create -a MyApp -d com.example -b 1.0.0

Then navigate into the MyApp directory and run npm update to download the Electron dependency. Use npm test to run the MyApp project:

cd ./MyApp
npm update
npm test

To update to the latest build of Rune (SDK), run the following command:

rune-tools update
