πŸš€ Features

  • βœ… Windows-like commands (dir, cd, mkdir, del, copy, type, cls)
  • βœ… Extensible via Java classes (easy to add new commands)
  • βœ… Packaged into .exe using Launch4j
  • βœ… Installer wizard using Inno Setup
  • βœ… Works on Windows and Linux (via jpackage)

πŸ“¦ Requirements

To build MyCMD you need:

(Linux users can use jpackage instead of Launch4j/Inno Setup.)


πŸ› οΈ Build Instructions

πŸ”Ή Windows

scripts\build-windows.bat

πŸ‘†πŸ» This will:

  • Build the JAR with Maven

  • Wrap it into an .exe with Launch4j

  • Generate a setup.exe installer with Inno Setup

Final Output

dist/
 ┣ bin/MyCMD.exe
 ┣ lib/dependencies.jar
 β”— setup.exe

Linux

chmod +x scripts/build-linux.sh
./scripts/build-linux.sh

This will build a .deb or .rpm package using jpackage.

πŸ–₯️ Usage

After installation, run:

MyCMD

You can now use commands like:

> dir
> cd ..
> mkdir test
> echo Hello World!
> type file.txt
> del file.txt
> help
> exit

🧩 Extending MyCMD

Note

There are many commands left like ls and Ping Command
