Plaid Operation

Plaid is executed from the command line and has two required parameters: a path to a json formatted schema file (which describes the config), and the path to a config file, like this:

./nova <path/to/schema.json> <path/to/config.json>

To get started, use the build guides

• Linux
• Windows

The documentation has in depth detail on each of the most important user interfaces (as described in the conceptual guide):

• Config File
• Plugin
• Ven Management API

In addition, there are a few specific guides for important aspects of your implementation:
