It's best\nto install jake globally, so that the binary is in your path, so:\n\n    npm install jake -g\n\nThe last thing to do is create a `Jakefile` in your project root. For now,\njust put the following:\n\n```js\nvar share = {},\n  action = require('launch')(share).action;\n```\n\nTo test that launch and jake are installed correctly, do:\n  \n    jake -T\n\nThis should output a list the of namespaced launch tasks.\n\n## Usage\n\n**You should be familiar with jake**\n\nThe default set of tasks require a little bit of project metadata. In your\n`package.json`, put the following info:\n\n```js\n\"launchconf\" : {\n  \"remote\" : \"host-name\",\n  \"remotepath\" : \"/path/to/apps\"\n}\n```\n\nRun `jake launch:info` to make sure you've got this right.\n\nNow you're ready to create some of your own tasks for deployment. Here is an\nexample `Jakefile` that I currently use:\n\n```js\nvar share = {}, // Shared info between the\n                // Jakefile tasks and the launch tasks\n  action = require('launch')(share).action; // Get the launch actions,\n                                            // passing in the shared var\n\n\n/*\n * Run with `jake deploylive`. Depends on `setenvlive` and `restart`\n * which are defined in this file, and `launch:installdeps` which is\n * provided by launch. The task itself is empty, the important things\n * are its dependencies being called in order.\n */\ndesc('Deploy the current branch to the live environment');\ntask('deploylive', ['setenvlive', 'launch:symlink', 'restart'], function () {\n});\n\n/*\n * Sets the optional enviroment on the shared object\n * to `live`, which is used by a launch task when operating\n * with the remote filesystem. This task depends on the\n * launch task `launch:info` to gather the remote info.\n */\ndesc('Sets the environment to live');\ntask('setenvlive', ['launch:info'], function () {\n  share.env = 'live';\n});\n\n\n/*\n * A custom task of mine to restart the the site/app\n * (I use upstart). This shows how to execute an arbitrary\n * remote command with launch's `action`s.\n */\ndesc('Restarts the server given an `env`');\ntask('restart', function () {\n\n  if (!share.env) {\n    action.error('`env` is not set.');\n    fail();\n  }\n\n  action.remote(share.info.remote,\n    'sudo stop site.' + share.info.name + '-' + share.env + ' && '\n    + 'sudo start site.' + share.info.name + '-' + share.env, function (exitcode) {\n      if (exitcode === 0) {\n        action.notice('The site service restarted.');\n        action.notice('Check manually to verify that the site is running.')\n      } else {\n        action.error('Failed to restart site');\n        fail();\n      }\n    });\n\n}, true);\n```\n\nThat's it! Enjoy.
