Setup

First, you need to create a virtual environment and activate it.

$ pip install virtualenv
$ virtualenv .venv
$ . .venv/bin/activate
(.venv)$

Next, install cliff in the environment.

(.venv)$ python setup.py install

Now, install the demo application into the virtual environment.

(.venv)$ cd demoapp
(.venv)$ python setup.py install

With cliff and the demo setup up, you can now play with it.

To see a list of commands available, run:

(.venv)$ cliffdemo --help
