Getting Started¶

BotCLI is a Java command line application distributed as part of the BotCity Studio SDK that allows one to access BotCity's API functionalities through the command line.

This format make it easier to automate processes related to releasing new robot versions, because it allows one to upload .jar, .zip and .tar.gz robot files for remote deploy. It also allows one to manage the tasks to be executed be the deployed robots and to control client Runners that were registered by the API.

As with most of the command line tools, invoking BotCLI without parameters or using the help command will provide you with the command line help guide.

Over the following sections we will cover each command and its subcommands in detail.

To make it simple we will simply refer to it as BotCLI and will use the following syntax:

./BotCLI <command> [arguments]

Please make sure to use the proper BotCLI wrapper for your platform.
