ivy-cli

Command line wrapper for the Apache Ivy project.

Why?!

See here. (The ivy cli is born)

Installing

1. Checkout the Ivy CLI into your homedirectory ~/.ivy-cli

    git clone https://github.com/jasonewall/ivy-cli .ivy-cli
   

2. Add the CLI bin directory to your path

    PATH=$PATH:~/.ivy-cli/bin
   

3. Initialize the ivy command

    eval "$(ivy init -)"
   

4. (Optional) set the IVY_HOME env variable By default the CLI looks for an Apache Ivy jar in ~/.ivy2/bin. It will use any jar matching ivy*.jar so download whatever version you want. I developed this CLI using 2.4.0-rc1, so there might be compatibility issues using earlier or later versions. If you want the CLI to look for the jar in another directory, you can override it using the IVY_HOME variable. The default IVY_HOME is ~/.ivy2

5. (Optional) Test your ivy-cli setup with the ivy example application
