Command-line interface

The installation directory contains batch scripts and executables for launching DataSpell, formatting the source code, and running inspections. To use them from the Command Prompt cmd.exe, add the location of the DataSpell bin folder to the PATH environment variable. For example, if you installed DataSpell to C:\Program Files\JetBrains\DataSpell, you can use the following command:

This command changes the PATH environment variable for the current shell only (the current instance of cmd.exe). If you want to update it permanently for the current user, run setx:

To update it system-wide for all users, run setx /M instead of setx.

After you configure the PATH variable, you can run the executable from any working directory in the Command Prompt: dataspell64.exe. Alternatively, you can use the batch script: dataspell.bat.

To run DataSpell from the shell, use the open command with the following options:

• -a: specify the application.

• --args: specify additional arguments when passing more than just the file or directory to open.

• -n: open a new instance of the application even if one is already running.

For example, you can run DataSpell.app with the following command:

You can create a shell script with this command in a directory from your PATH environment variable. For example, create the file /usr/local/bin/dataspell with the following contents:

Make sure you have permissions to execute the script and since /usr/local/bin should be in the PATH environment variable by default, you should be able to run dataspell from anywhere in the shell.

On Linux, the installation directory contains the launcher shell script dataspell.sh under bin. For example, if you installed DataSpell to /opt/dataspell, you can run the script using the following command:

You can create a symbolic link to the launcher script in a directory from the PATH environment variable. For example, if you installed DataSpell to /opt/dataspell and want to create a link named dataspell in /usr/local/bin, run the following command:

Since /usr/local/bin should be in the PATH environment variable by default, you should be able to run the dataspell command from anywhere in the shell.

By default, the Toolbox App puts shell scripts in a directory from the system PATH environment variable, so you can run the name of the script as a command to launch DataSpell from any working directory.
