## Export

The [Export information and Tips](https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/Export-Info-and-Tips) page on the Processing Wiki covers the details of exporting Applications from Java mode.

## Command Line Interface (CLI)

Run sketches from the terminal using Processing's Command Line Interface (CLI).

*Windows (PowerShell)*
```
processing.exe --help
```

*Linux*
```
processing --help
```

*macOS*
```
cd /Applications/Processing.app/Contents/MacOS
./Processing --help
```

_**Note:** On macOS, the executable lives inside the `.app` bundle, so that's why there is a command to navigate to it's folder first. On Windows and Linux, Processing is typically added to your PATH by default, so no navigation is needed. _
