DESCRIPTION
To make it easier to launch slate the command slaterun can be used. It sets up the library path for external plugins. If an image is given it behaves like directly launching the slate. If no image is given it tries to set up an environment with the default image. The behaviour can be adapted via some environment variables, see below.
ENVIRONMENT
- SLATE_BIN
- Defines the location of the slate binary. If undefined PATH is used to determine the location of slate.
- SLATE_LIB path1:path2:path3
- Defines the location of external plugins. By default /usr/share/slate/lib is used.
- SLATE_IMAGE
- This image is used if no image is given on commandline. Unset by default.
- SLATE_HOME
- Slaterun will cd to this path before invoking the vm if SLATE_IMAGE is unset and no image was given on commandline. The directory should contain one file named slate.image. It defaults to /usr/share/slate and provides a bootstrapped image to be used.
