Runtime and Tooling Commands

This page covers the remaining runtime and utility commands.

nautilus engine serve

Start the JSON-RPC engine used by generated clients.

Usage: nautilus engine serve [OPTIONS]

Option	Meaning
-s, --schema <SCHEMA>	Schema path
--database-url <DATABASE_URL>	Database URL override
--migrate	Run DDL migrations before entering the request loop

Use it when you want to debug or launch the engine manually instead of letting generated clients manage it.

nautilus python install

Install a .pth shim for Python CLI access.

Usage: nautilus python install [OPTIONS]

Option	Meaning
--python <PYTHON>	Python executable override

Notes:

• after installation, the shim is intended to make python -m nautilus and import nautilus resolve to the CLI wrapper
• this is separate from client generation
• if you generated a Python client without --no-install, that client may already have been copied to site-packages/nautilus and can shadow the shim

nautilus python uninstall

Remove the Python shim.

Usage: nautilus python uninstall [OPTIONS]

Option	Meaning
--python <PYTHON>	Python executable override

nautilus studio

Manage the Nautilus Studio Next.js app checkout/build and launch flow.

Usage: nautilus studio [OPTIONS]

Option	Meaning
--update	Download the latest Studio release again before starting
--uninstall	Remove the locally cached Studio release files

Studio runtime notes from the current implementation:

• Node.js is required
• npm is required
• the CLI downloads a platform-specific release asset from the configured Studio GitHub repo
• it installs runtime dependencies from package-lock.json when needed
• it launches the app from the current project directory
