panda-manager is Panda Server's utility tool, used to manage the server, its dependencies and providing information about version number, directory path and more. It is rather extensive and includes multiple commands and sub-commands. This page aims to provide a structured overview of each feature. You can use the table below or use the common search feature CTRL+F to look for a particular command.
Alias: -v

Sub-commands: N/A
Alias: -s

Example: panda-module --start --browser firefox --port 8080
Sub-commands:
- -h, --help: This returns the help page for --start. It provides an overview of all available sub-commands.

-b, --browser: Requires the command for opening a chosen browser. Example:

Example: panda-module --download server.py
Arguments:
- server.py: This file is the main file in the project. It is therefore required. Use this argument to download server.py from remote repository.
- pandahttp: PandaHTTP is a custom module that helps keeping the code organized. It handles HTTP requests and manages databases. Use this argument to create the module directory and download all files from remote repository.
- modules: This argument installs all Python dependencies using pip. It requires that requirements.txt exists in the root folder. This file contains the name of all dependencies and their version.
