## Running Hangover

Libation comes with a recovery app called Hangover. You can start it by running this command:

```bash
open /Applications/Libation.app --args hangover
```

## Running LibationCli

Libation comes with a command-line interface. Unfortunately, due to the way apps are sandboxed on mac, its use is somewhat limited. To open a new sandboxed terminal in LibationCli's directory, run the following command:

```Console
open /Applications/Libation.app --args cli
```

To use LibationCli from an unsandboxed terminal, you must disable gatekeeper again and run the program directly at `/Applications/Libation.app/Contents/MacOS/LibationCli`

Then use `./LibationCli` to execute a command.
