4. fox CLI

Note

The goal of the fox CLI is to simplify the interaction with the repository. Therefore, it is not needed to

  • set or change any environment variables or

  • activate/deactivate any virtual Python environments.

The command line interface to interact with the repository is the fox CLI. fox.py, in the root of the repository, is the tool that implements the tool to interact with the repository, to e.g., build the embedded binary or run tests.

For details of the fox.py implementation see fox.py .

To simplify the usage of this Python module, the following shell wrappers are provided (also at the root of the repository):

  • fox.ps1 for PowerShell (pwsh.exe)

  • fox.sh for Bash (bash)

The basic usage of the respective wrapper is defined by the used terminal:

.\fox.ps1
