Usage Notes
On Mac, to use these arguments you have two possibilities:
- Running the bundle executable directly
- Opening the app bundle with
open
1. Running the bundle executable directly
You cd
inside the app bundle until you reach the executable, e.g. cd MiniMicro.app/Contents/MacOS
.
Then you can launch the app like any Unix executable, e.g. ./Mini\ Micro -scale 3
.
2. Opening the app bundle with open
You cd
into the folder where the MiniMicro bundle is installed, e.g. cd /Applications
.
Then you can launch the app with the open
command, passing arguments with `args`, e.g. open -a MiniMicro.app --args -scale 3
.
