mta-cli v0.3.1

mta-cli

Command Line Interface for MTA

Instalation

First you need NodeJS installed on your computer. Fastest way to do it? On Windows install Chocolatey which is The Package Manager for Windows. If you have Chocolatey installed type in CMD:

choco install nodejs

Note: you can install NodeJS in any different way. I'm showing you only my favourite and I think fastest.

If you have NodeJS installed you can type in CMD:

npm i -g mta-cli

After that you get prompted to enter path to MTA server folder which is required because after that resource "resource-restart" will be copied to resources folder (which is in resources folder in this package repository) of your server and mtaserver.conf will be modified and "resource-restart" resource will be configured to start automatically after server start. This resource is required for mta watch command to work properly.

After instalation and configuration you will get mta command in your CMD (no matter if it's cmd.exe or PowerShell)

Commands

mta compile
