Building and Publishing Targets Using the Command Line
Flare's build engine is called “madbuild” and is used when generating and publishing output in various ways from the command line. With this method, you do not have to open Flare at all.
Note If a destination file is associated with a target, the output will automatically be published to that destination when using a madbuild command.

What’s Noteworthy?
Warning If your computer's anti-virus (AV) software scans the Output folder during the build process and you experience one or more "Build Failed" errors, the AV software may be preventing the build process from accessing the output files. To avoid this, you can temporarily turn off or disable your AV scan. You may also be able to exclude the Output folder, add Flare to an exceptions list, or postpone/reschedule scans to a different time. See your AV vendor for information.
Tip If you are using the command prompt (as opposed to a Notepad file) and you have an operating system that supports dragging, you can drag a file from the Windows location to the Command Prompt window. This will add the path of the file within quotation marks for you.
