Functional Requirements

    1. build - Build source code locally to ensure correctness. Optionally download any shared libraries that are referenced in the source code.
    2. release - Release source code by creating an app release on a Helium server. Optionally download any shared libraries that are referenced in the source code.
    3. createapp - Create an app on a Helium server.
    4. upgrade - Upgrade an existing app with previously released source code.
    5. help - Provide usage instructions for the tool including a full list of commands and allowed / required arguments for each command.
  • The latest version of the new "no ui" Dev Client will always be available here: https://builds.stb.mezzanineware.com/release/latest/
  • In addition to the above, the tool will also be included on the DevOps portal in the near future.
