I am running OSX, using Julia Version 0.3.9 (2015-05-30 11:24 UTC).

What does running /usr/bin/env julia print in your terminal?

[shashi]

On OSX you can run this from the Julia REPL to serve:

julia> using Escher
julia> cd(Pkg.dir("Escher", "examples"))
julia> escher_serve()

[maacl]

/usr/bin/env julia

produces:

Following the above I get:

julia> using Escher

julia> cd(Pkg.dir("Escher", "examples"))

julia> escher_serve()
ERROR: escher_serve not defined

[maacl]

This might be related to how I am trying running julia from the terminal.

I have only symlinked the julia executable from to usr/local/bin:

ln -s /Applications/Julia-0.3.9.app/Contents/Resources/julia/bin/julia /usr/local/bin/

Do I need to do something more?

[shashi]

My bad, it should have been

Escher.escher_serve()

No your julia binary seems to be in the right place. How long did you wait before deciding escher --serve does not work? it usually takes about a minute for the server to start up. (JIT compilation of dependencies)

[maacl]

julia> Escher.escher_serve()
ERROR: escher_serve not defined

Autocomplete also does not reveal any Escher.escher_serve() function.

I waited 15 mins (MacBook Air mid 2011) on the escher --serve call. First run outputted something about updating Docile cache, but subsequent runs have not.

[shashi]

Oh, well. It should have been:

using Escher
include(Pkg.dir("Escher", "src", "cli", "serve.jl"))
cd(Pkg.dir("Escher", "examples")) # or any other directory
escher_serve()

My bad again :{

[maacl]

I just nuked my julia install and started over. There is no escher_serve() function in the Escher package.

[shashi]

The code shown above worked for me on Linux and Mac... Could you verify again?

[shashi]

I could not reproduce this on OSX. reopen if problem persists.
