To compile a program, you invoke the MINERVA Development Server with:

minervac MyProgram

To execute this program as a standalone, you invoke the MINERVA Application Server with:

minerva -l MyProgram

To execute this program as a standalone with debugger, you invoke the MINERVA Application Server with:

minervad -l MyProgram

To execute this program as a standalone with Graphical User Interface, you invoke the MINERVA Application Server with:

minervagui -l MyProgram

To prepare a library to extend MINERVA with existing Java classes you invoke the MINERVA Development Server with

minervax MyExtension

mjavac MyExtension.java

and can then execute a program with e.g.

minerva -b MyExtension1 -b MyExtension2 -l MyProgram Arg1 Arg2

To build a MINERVA based system, you invoke

minmake MySystem

To invoke a client side MINERVA program over the network you embed it as applet in a standard HTML file; again you may specify extensions and parameters.E.g.

<APPLET
        codebase="../../../"
        code="com.ifcomputer.minerva.Gui.class"
        height=150 width=300>
<PARAM name=minerva value="-c ../../../minervagui.mca -l corp -language german">
<APPLET>

To invoke a server side MINERVA program as a daemon, invoke with

	minerva -daemon -l MyServerProg
