Project Zero Command Line Interface

The Project Zero command line interface contains the base support for developing and running Zero applications. Additional Zero runtime libraries are retrieved as needed from a Zero module repository, like when you create an application for the first time.

The instructions below are for the latest Project Zero code. Previous versions of the Project Zero code can be found below.

Download and Installation of the Command Line Interface

  1. Download the zero.zip file and unzip it to any directory. This results in a subdirectory called zero that contains the commands for running the Zero CLI.
  2. Add the zero directory to the user's PATH environment variable.
  3. Add the bin directory under the JDK installation directory to the user's PATH environment variable.

Getting Started with the CLI

To get started using the CLI including how to add PHP support, refer to the "Installing and configuring: Command Line Interface" section of the Getting Started Guide for instructions.

System Requirement for Command Line Interface

  • Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux operating system
  • Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 5.0

    • For Windows from Sun

    For Linux from IBM developerWorks

    For Mac from Apple

    Note: IBM Employees should use the IBM internal site for downloading the JDK
