4.3. Start the Application

Once the steps above are completed, the Slider Command Line Interface (CLI) can be used to start the application using the following command format:

/usr/hdp/current/slider-client/bin/./slider create <application_name> --template appConfig.json --resources resources.json

Default files (appConfig-default.json and resources-default.json) files are included in each application package.

	Note
	You can create multiple instances of an application by running the Slider create command with different application names. For example, you might change configuration settings in appConfig.json and create a separate instance to evaluate the new configuration.
