ceylon bootstrap(1)					     ceylon bootstrap(1)

NAME
     ceylon  bootstrap	- Generates a Ceylon bootstrap script in the current di-
     rectory

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 com-
     mand, except that it is not necessary to install Ceylon yourself. On  first
     execution the scripts will check if the required Ceylon distribution is al-
     ready available locally and if not they will download and install it.

     A	bootstrap  script can be used to make it very easy for authors of Ceylon
     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 download. 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 distribution.
	    This  can either be a path that starts with ~ or ${user.home} to in-
	    dicate 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 di-
	    rectory. (default: ${ceylon.user.dir}/dists/)

     --sha-sum=sum
	    The SHA-256 sum to be included for the bootstrap script (default: 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.
