- See
- <a href="commandline.html">running Jalview from the command line</a>
- for more information.
- <br />
- <br />Jalview processes arguments on the command line sequentially. If
- you would like to pass a <a href="jvlfiles.html">'JVL' file</a> containing
- <a href="../memory.html">memory settings</a> or any other launch
- parameters, then include it at the beginning of the command line to
- ensure they are processed before any remaining arguments.
- <br>
- Typical command line execution follows the following pattern:
- <pre>
- jalview -open <Alignment File/URL> [additional import arguments] [export arguments]
- </pre>
