You need Java (1.6 or better) and a bash-like shell.
If you are on a Mac and using homebrew, all you must do to install it is:
$ brew install spring-boot-cli
It will install /usr/local/bin/spring
. You can jump right to running the app.
An alternative way to install the spring
command line interface can be installed like this:
$ curl spring.cfapps.io/installer | bash
After running that command you should see a spring
directory:
$ ./spring/bin/spring --help
usage: spring [--help] [--version]
<command> [<args>]
...
You could add that bin
directory to your PATH
(the examples below
assume you did that).
If you don't have curl
or zip
you can probably get them (for
Windoze users we recommend cygwin), or you can
download the zip file and unpack
it yourself.
Use the spring command:
$ spring run app.groovy
To help avoid a timeout on startup you should upload all the
dependencies. You can get those locally by running the app with
--local
:
$ spring run --local app.groovy
this will create a local directory grapes/
with all the jar
dependencies. Then when you cf push
they will be uploaded and used
if the app is again launched with --local
.
