Lover is a command-line interface, which means it doesn't have a graphical interface and requires you to use the terminal.

Commands that will only work inside a Lover project. You need to run your terminal (or enter the directory with cd) in your project's directory.

See setting up a project.

lover run

You can also pass arguments for your game if it uses them.

lover run idk --do-stuff

lover build [targets...]

For example:

lover build love

lover build linux win64 win32

See the target command.

lover clean

Checks all of your lua scripts for errors.

Performed automatically on each run and build.
