Using Nova's CLI

Open projects from scripts or terminals with Nova's CLI tool.

Nova includes a command line tool allowing you to open files or projects in Nova from your shell. This can be useful for writing scripts that open Nova, or for simply opening a file right from a terminal.

Installation

To install this tool, go to Nova’s Settings > Tools and choose Install under the Command Line Tool header. This will install the nova executable on your Mac in /usr/local/bin.
