Spring Boot CLI（Command Line Interface）是一個指令行工具，您可以用它來快速建構Spring原型應用。通過Spring Boot CLI，我們可以通過編寫Groovy腳本來快速的建構出Spring Boot應用，并通過指令行的方式将其運作起來。下來，我們來學習一下如何安裝和使用Spring Boot CLI。
安裝Spring Boot CLI
關于Spring Boot CLI的安裝方式有很多，這裡根據目前主要主流的開發平台，具體介紹一下Windows和Mac下的安裝方式：
通用安裝
先介紹一個所有平台都可以使用的安裝方法。
第一步：下載下傳Spring Boot CLI的工具包：
第二步：解壓下載下傳内容，可以看到bin目錄下已經有适用于windows和linux平台的兩個可執行檔案了，我們已經可以直接使用它；為了更友善的使用Spring Boot CLI的指令，我們可以将上面bin目錄中對應的可執行檔案加入到目前系統的環境變量即可。
Mac OSX Brew安裝
在Mac OSX系統下面就非常友善了，我們可以通過Brew來進行安裝，隻需要分别執行下面的兩條的指令即可：
$ brew tap pivotal/tap
$ brew install springboot 驗證安裝
不論使用哪種方法安裝，在安裝好之後，我們可以通過下面的指令來驗證一下目前的安裝結果：
$ spring --version
Spring CLI v2.0.0.RELEASE 運作Groovy腳本
在完成了Spring Boot CLI的安裝之後，我們來試試使用它來快速的建構一個Spring Boot應用，方法很簡單，隻需要如下操作：
第一步：建立一個Groovy腳本，
hello.groovy
，内容如下：
@RestController
class ThisWillActuallyRun {
@RequestMapping("/")
String home() {
"Hello World!"
}
} 第二步：使用
spring
指令運作該Groovy腳本，具體如下：
$ spring run hello.groovy

localhost:8080
來驗證一下上面應用提供的接口：
$ curl localhost:8080
Hello World! 是不是非常簡單？有木有颠覆您對Java應用的印象？
