- Running Raptor Using the 'sbs' Command
- ---------------------------------------
- Raptor is started from the commandline using the "sbs" command. From the
- windows cmd shell prompt this causes "sbs.bat" to be executed and from
- the bash shell (on Windows or Linux) the "sbs" shellscript is executed.
- The python components of Raptor are then started up by whichever of
- these two scripts is run.
- Automatic SBS_HOME Detection
- -----------------------------
- Raptor needs to be able to find its supporting files, e.g. configuration
- files and python components. In versions 2.17.0 and prior the SBS_HOME
- environment variable could optionally be set to locate these files.
- In later versions 2.17.0 it the value is automatically deduced from the
- path to the sbs script or batch file. This prevents confusion when
- more than one version of Raptor is installed.
- The sbs startup scripts normally reside in SBS_HOME/bin so they assume
- that SBS_HOME is the directory one up from where they themselves are
- located. This makes it easier to set up Raptor as one only has to add
- the raptor "/bin" directory to the user's PATH environment variable -
- something that has to be done anyhow.
- Running Raptor in a Python debugger
- ------------------------------------
- Since version 2.17.1 it is possible to excecute Raptor using "python
- bin/sbs.py" which makes it easier to run Raptor in a python debugger
- without having to set up any environment variables first. All that's
- required is that the version of python should be suitable
- (preferably 2.7.x or 3.2.x).
