CLI Introduction

Introduction

So you'd prefer to use the CLI to a web based interface for managing your FRAPI install? Well, you've come to the right place. The FRAPI CLI offers most of the functionality of the web based administrative interface.

Location

The frapi CLI file is in the following directory: FRAPI_PATH/src/frapi/admin/console. It can be run by simply changing to the console directory and typing ./frapi.php which if called without any arguments or options will display a usage message.

Arguments

There are two required arguments for the FRAPI CLI. The first is the action you would like to take, for example - add, delete, etc. The second is the module you would to perform that action on, for example - action, partner, etc. To get the options for each combination of action and module you can pass them to the frapi.php.
