The standard CLI for creating and building a Piral instance or a Pilet.

  }
}

export async function select(from: SelectCommands) {
  const localPath = getPath();
  const localRunner = resolve(localPath, 'runner.js');

  if (localPath !== __dirname && existsSync(localRunner)) {
    // If the runner exists and we found a more local installation use the new mode
    const ps = fork(localRunner, [], {
      cwd: process.cwd(),
    });

    ps.send({
      type: 'start',
      select: from.toString(),
      args: process.argv.slice(2),
    });

    const { start } = require(join(localPath, 'start'));
    await start(from);
