Starting and stopping

This documentation is deprecated/obsolete. Lute v2 has been replaced by Lute v3, a full Python rewrite. Please see the Lute v3 manual which includes notes on installation. If you have Lute v2, you can easily migrate to v3. Thank you!

Use the following commands in Terminal/Shell/whatever command line:

Using Docker

cd /path/to/your/Lute
docker compose build
docker compose up -d

In your web browser, open http://localhost:8000

When you're done using it:

cd /path/to/your/Lute
docker compose stop

The Windows command line will work for this, provided you have installed Docker Desktop, but it is considerably slower than either the Linux command line or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Not using Docker

cd /path/to/your/Lute
cd public
php -S localhost:9999

Note you have to cd to the public folder!!!

In your web browser, open http://localhost:9999

When you're done, go back to your terminal window, and Ctrl-C will kill the PHP server.
