lemonade-server CLI

The lemonade-server command-line interface (CLI) provides a set of utility commands for managing the server. When you install Lemonade Server using the GUI installer, lemonade-server is added to your PATH so that it can be invoked from any terminal.

Note: if you installed from source or PyPI, you should call lemonade-server-dev in your activated Python environment, instead of using lemonade-server.

lemonade-server provides these utilities:

Option/Command	Description
-v, --version	Print the lemonade-sdk package version used to install Lemonade Server.
serve	Start the server process in the current terminal. See command options below.
status	Check if server is running. If it is, print the port number.
stop	Stop any running Lemonade Server process.
pull MODEL_NAME	Install an LLM named MODEL_NAME. See the server models guide for more information.
