kit start-package

short: kit s

kit start-package installs and starts the indicated package directory (or current working directory) on the given Hyperware node (at localhost:8080 by default), e.g.,

kit start-package foo

or

kit start-package

Discussion

kit start-package injects a built package into the given node and starts it. start-package is designed to be used after a package has been built with kit build. The pkg/ directory contains metadata about the package for the node as well as the .wasm binaries for each process. The final step in the build process is to zip the pkg/ directory. kit start-package looks for the zipped pkg/ and then injects a message to the node to start the package.

To both build and start-package in one command, use kit build-start-package.
