flow command

[ivodopiviz]

Hi! Noob here!

According to most places in the docs, once installed, I should be able to just use 'flow' as a command. However, it isn't working for me and I have to use 'haxelib run flow'. Is this normal? Did I miss a step?

I installed directly using haxelib git [url] and everything seemed to go fine. I'm using the latest OSX Yosemite GM.

Cheers!

Hi,

This is just an oversight in the documentation, I thought I had written the instructions for this, but hadn't. Sorry for the confusion there :)

The shortcut will be automated in future, but to install the alias, you can look here:
https://github.com/underscorediscovery/flow/tree/master/setup

The windows one is a bat file, linux and mac are the other one.
You're free to setup the alias in a preferred way, but this is a convenience :

In windows, you can copy it to C:\haxetoolkit\ somewhere, alongside haxe.exe, or anywhere in your PATH.

In mac/linux you can also put it alongside the haxe binary in /usr/lib/haxe/ or even in the more common place of /usr/local/bin.

That's all there is to it, copy the small text file (you can open and look inside) to anywhere in your path, and your terminal should find flow after that. Take note on windows you often have to restart a terminal for some things to take hold.

Thanks for the help Sven! I was trying something similar to this after inspecting how HaxeFlixel did it.
