Running Hangover

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

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:

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.
