Getting Started with Recital

What Development Tools are Included with Recital?

After installing Recital, you have two ways to edit, compile and run your Recital scripts.

• Recital Workbench
• Recital Studio

Starting the Recital Workbench

One of the most useful tools for writing Recital code is the Recital Workbench, a character mode interactive editing, debugging and execution environment in which commands are run as you type them and press Return.

You run recital by typing "recital" at a shell prompt. Linux also has a man page that describes how to use the recital command.

$ recital
$ recital --help
$ man recital

Starting Recital Studio

Built on Eclipse, Recital Studio provides a complete cross-platform graphical development environment for the development, deployment and maintenance of Recital, and Recital Web applications. Additionally, Recital Studio includes comprehensive database administration tools.

You run Recital Studio by typing "recitalstudio" at a shell prompt.

$ recitalstudio

Running Recital Scripts

You can execute Recital scripts in one of two ways; from the command line (e.g. bash) or through a web server such as apache on linux/unix or IIS on windows. For the development of Recital applications that will be run from the command line, the Recital Workbench provides all the tools you will need to develop, debug, and test your applications.
