Hands-on Clikt

Demo repository for building a CLI with Kotlin, Clikt and GraalVM.

GraalVM installation

I used Jabba as a JVM manager to install GraalVM on my machine. Once this is done, make sure to install the native-image utility using the Graal updater.

# use Jabba to install GraalVM
$ jabba remote-ls
$ jabba install graalvm-ce-java8@20.3.0
$ jabba use graalvm-ce-java8@20.3.0

$ export GRAALVM_HOME=$JAVA_HOME

$ gu available
$ gu install native-image

Building and using CLI

$ ./gradlew build
$ ./gradlew buildNativeImage

$ cd build/
$ ./hands-on-clikt
$ ./hands-on-clikt --name Leander --count 3
$ ./hands-on-clikt --help
