CommandBox Setup

1. Download CommandBox for the stable version (it’s recommended to download the one that includes JRE).
2. Save it to a specific folder and then extract the contents.
3. Open the terminal, navigate to the extracted commandBox folder, and execute the box file (it’s recommended to set up an alias, see the instructions in this step).
4. Navigate to the directory ./SoulFaceBackEnd/main/src/web.

5. For the first execution, run this command:
   

   server start name=sf7-dev port=8080 cfengine=lucee@5.3.7
   

   Note: You can adjust the name and port as needed.

6. For subsequent executions, run: server start sf7-dev

Setting up CommandBox Alias for Easy Execution

1. Open the terminal.

2. Edit the file ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc if your default terminal shell is Zsh by running the following command:
   

   sudo nano ~/.zshrc 
   

   (You can use nano or vim depending on the editor you prefer).

3. Add the following line:
   

   ...
   alias cmbox={YOUR_COMMANDBOX_PATH}
   ...
   

   Here, cmbox is the alias you'll use to execute CommandBox in the terminal. You can customize the alias name as you like. {YOUR_COMMANDBOX_PATH} should be replaced with the path where you extracted CommandBox.

4. Run source ~/.zshrc to apply the changes and restart your Zsh shell configuration.

5. Now, you can simply run cmbox to start CommandBox!
