# runapp(1)

Run an application

## NAME

runapp - Run an application

## SYNOPSIS

**runapp** {**BUNDLE:BINARY**}

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **runapp** command.

**runapp** runs applications installed using Limba. It will set the application environment, make it find its dependencies, initiate a sandbox and do everything else needed to run the application.

The first parameter of **runapp** should be the *BUNDLE:BINARY* combination, e.g. if you want to run the binary /bin/foo of the foobar-1.0 package, use *foobar/1.0:/bin/foo* as parameter.

All following options are treated as belonging to the called binary.

For debugging purposes, it is possible to open an interactive shell in the environment of the application. To do that, simply set "sh" as *BINARY*, for example you can use *foobar/1.0:sh* to get a shell in the environment for binaries of the *foobar/1.0* bundle.
