MooseNexus CLI

MooseNexus CLI builds, publishes, and retrieves Moose model and image artifacts.

It creates a fresh Moose/Pharo image, loads MooseNexus, runs a build specification, and can publish the resulting model or image through an OCI registry.

Install

npm install --global @moosetechnology/moosenexus

The CLI requires Node.js 22 or later. Building Java models with the default extractor requires Docker. TypeScript support is experimental; it requires Git and npm, and the CLI provisions the pinned importer in its temporary workspace. OCI publication and retrieval require an authenticated ORAS installation.

Get Started

Use the interactive wizard to build or retrieve an artifact step by step:

moosenexus --wizard

Build an image from a YAML configuration with inline build inputs:

moosenexus build-image --config examples/unmanaged-java.yml

Build an npm-managed TypeScript project experimentally:

moosenexus build-image --config examples/typescript-npm.yml

Build and publish a model from an external Smalltalk build spec:

moosenexus build-model --config examples/external-build-spec.yml

Build and publish a model:

moosenexus build-model \
  --project-group com.example \
  --project-name demo \
  --project-version 1.0.0 \
  --source /path/to/source/project \
  --kind unmanaged \
  --language java \
  --registry registry.example.com \
  --namespace moose

Retrieve that model:

moosenexus pull-model \
  --registry registry.example.com \
  --namespace moose \
  --project-group com.example \
  --project-name demo \
  --project-version 1.0.0

Run moosenexus <command> --help for command options.
