BitNami console

BitNami console is a script to load the Stack environment. This console is useful to run any command included in the Stack: mysql, php, openssl, ruby, rake among others. 

On Linux:

$ cd installdir
$ ./use_application

For instance, in Wordpress Stack:

$ cd /opt/wordpress-3.0
$ ./use_wordpress

On Windows:

There is a shortcut in Start -> BitNami Application Stack -> "Application console" or "Use Application Stack"

On OS X:

Open a Terminal and type the following:

hostname:~ user$ cd /Applications/application-version
hostname:~ user$ ./use_application

For instance, in Wordpress Stack:

hostname:~ user$ cd /Applications/wordpress-3.0
hostname:~ user$ ./use_wordpress

Note: If you are using BitNami Cloud Hosting, a virtual machine or a Cloud image the Stack environment is loaded by default and you don't need to start the console.
