How to run?

There are two ways to run formulas on Ritchie :

1. Locally

2. Using Docker

The default formulas execution method has been defined during the initialization step with therit initcommand. It can be changed executing the following command:

rit set formula-runner

1. Locally

To run a formula locally it is necessary to have the formula programming languages dependencies installed on the computer.

Example: a formula written in Node will need Node installed on the computer, so it will be able to run locally.

2. Through Docker

All formulas can run regardless the programming language used from the moment you have DOCKER installed and running.

3. Local & Docker Flags

You can force Ritchie CLI to execute a formula with a specific method using flags.

• The --local flag will execute a formula with locally (if the default method is Docker).

• The --docker flag will execute a formula with Docker (if the default method is local).

4. Containers with Ritchie
