Command line usage
Using the command line interface of Lume
The following examples assume that you are using Lume as a Deno task.
If you have Lume CLI installed, the commands are similar but removing the deno task
part. For example deno task lume --serve
becomes lume --serve
.
Build the site
Run the following to build your website:
deno task lume
This command compiles your documents to HTML and save them into the dest directory (usually _site
).
Tip
There's the deno task build
task as an alias.
Start a local server
Typically you will want to open the site in your browser so you can start a local server by adding the --serve
(or -s
) argument:
deno task lume --serve
Tip
There's the deno task serve
task as an alias.
This command initializes a local web server and starts watching changes of your site. So after changing anything, Lume will rebuild the site and reload your browser automatically with the new changes. The local server use the port 3000
by default but you can change it with the --port
argument. For example:
deno task lume --serve --port=8000
To watch changes without starting a local server, use the --watch
argument:
deno task lume --watch
Help
Run deno task lume -h
to show all available commands and options.
