The kalite command

Once installed, a new command kalite is available from your terminal:

# Start the server in the background (as a daemon)
kalite start

# Stop the server
kalite stop

# Stop and start the server in the background (as a daemon)
kalite restart

# Runs a foreground process where you can see output of the server
kalite start --foreground

# Show available commands
kalite manage help

Warning

When the KA Lite software is installed using a .deb package, on Ubuntu, Debian, or Raspbian, do not use the kalite command directly. Instead, use system commands like sudo service ka-lite start, sudo service ka-lite stop or sudo service ka-lite restart.

Using the package ka-lite-raspberry-pi, it runs on a different port.

These configurations will not be active if you run a kalite command from your own command line.
