Mac users: make your own launcher app for command-line utilities via AppleScript
I’ve been using HIDE lately for Haxe development. It installs and runs from the command line normally, and I quickly get tired of having to summon the Terminal in order to launch it. Here’s what I did to make it launch from my Dock:
- Open up AppleScript Editor (it’s in your Applications/Utilities folder, or find it using Spotlight).
- Create a new script.
- Paste the following line into the editor:
do shell script “haxelib run HIDE” - If you click the Run button at this point, it should launch HIDE for you.
- Select File>Save and choose “Application” as the file format. Save it in your Applications folder.
- Find the application now and drag it to your Dock for quick access.
This technique works for any Terminal command of course. Enjoy!
