[forge-users] Getting started with forge

[forge-users at lists.jboss.org]

Hi

I'm a first time user of forge, so please forgive me if these seem like stupid questions.

I've wanting to use forge as it seems like it will speed update development, especially of erria applications. 

I installed Forge, as documented on errai/forge-errai · GitHub (https://github.com/errai/forge-errai) and https://github.com/forge/core#jboss-forge-20

Firstly, I tried installing it into JBDS. According to the documentation I should be able to hit ctrl-5 and the Forge UI should show. This did not happen.

I tried the eclipse console, and tried to add the errai plugin.

Wrote /home/anton/.forge/httpsrawgithubcomforgepluginrepositorymasterrepositoryyaml.yaml
[magick.watcher] dev $ forge install-plugin errai

JBoss Forge, version [ 2.1.1.Final ] - JBoss, by Red Hat, Inc. [ http://forge.jboss.org ]


[bin]$ forge
***ERROR*** No such command: forge
[bin]$ forge Project: New
***ERROR*** No such command: forge
[bin]$ forge --install core
***ERROR*** No such command: forge
[bin]$ forge --install shell
***ERROR*** No such command: forge
[bin]$ 

I am obviously doing something very wrong. Can someone please help me?
I would preferably use the UI in eclipse, but am fine with using the command line. Unfortunately neither is working.
