Running servoshell
Assuming you’re in the directory containing servo
, you can run servoshell with:
$ ./servo [url] [options]
Use --help
to list the available command line options:
$ ./servo --help
Use --pref
to configure Servo’s behaviour, including to enable experimental web platform features.
For example, to run our Conway’s Game of Life demo with WebGPU enabled:
$ ./servo --pref dom.webgpu.enabled https://demo.servo.org/experiments/webgpu-game-of-life/
Use --devtools=6080
to enable support for debugging pages with Firefox devtools:
$ ./servo --devtools=6080
Note: devtools support is currently broken (#29831).
