If you want to try it out, just double-click it and start configuration wizard.

After the configuration wizard was done, you can open terminal and run ./manboster start to start a daemon running in background. Or just double-click it to start.

If you are using daemon mode, you can use following commands to control it:

Start the daemon:

./manboster start

Stop the daemon:

./manboster stop

Checkout the daemon status

Get the log

./manboster log

Or open ~/.manboster/manboster.log, if none, checkout manboster executable file's folder.

If you start it with double-click, just close it with your pointer.

If you start it with ./manboster start, just run ./manboster stop and wait.

Enjoy your Lobster!
