ceylon bootstrap(1)					   ceylon bootstrap(1)

NAME
       ceylon  bootstrap  - Generates a	Ceylon bootstrap script	in the current
       directory

SYNOPSIS
       ceylon bootstrap	[--cwd=dir] [--force] [--installation=path] [--sha-
			sum=sum] [--verbose[=flags]] [--] [distribution]

DESCRIPTION
       This tool generates a ceylonb bootstrap shell script (and a ceylonb.bat
       batch file for Windows) that functions exactly like the	normal	ceylon
       command,	except that it is not necessary	to install Ceylon yourself. On
       first execution the scripts will	check if the required Ceylon distribu-
       tion is already available locally and if	not they will download and in-
       stall it.

       A bootstrap script can be used to make it very easy for authors of Cey-
       lon  projects  to distribute their code to users	without	them having to
       install Ceylon. It is also useful for making sure that  users  use  the
       exact  same  version of Ceylon the code was tested with without forcing
       them to install that exact same version themselves.

       The distribution	argument determines which distribution	the  bootstrap
       script will install. It can either be a version string, which will then
       be  combined  with  the URL to the official Ceylon download site, or it
       can be a	URL pointing directly to the desired Ceylon distribution down-
       load. If	this option is not specified the current version will be  used
       (default: 1.3.3)

OPTIONS
       --cwd=dir
	      Specifies	the current working directory for this tool. (default:
	      the directory where the tool is run from)

       --force
	      Create the bootstrap files even if they already exist

       --installation=path
	      Determines where the bootstrap script will install the distribu-
	      tion.  This  can	either	be  a  path  that  starts  with	 ~  or
	      ${user.home} to indicate a location in the user's	home directory
	      or it can	start with ${ceylon.user.dir} to indicate  a  location
	      in    the	   user's    Ceylon    directory.   (default:	${cey-
	      lon.user.dir}/dists/)

       --sha-sum=sum
	      The SHA-256 sum to be included for  the  bootstrap  script  (de-
	      fault: no	sum)

       --verbose[=flags], -d
	      Produce  verbose	output.	 If no flags are given then be verbose
	      about everything,	otherwise just	be  verbose  about  the	 flags
	      which are	present. Allowed flags include:	all, loader.
