# Manual builds #
`loaih build` can be used to build a single version of the AppImage.
## CAVEATS ##
Considering that the goal of building a single version is very different from
having a set of builds for a specific version, `loaih` v1.3.2 introduces two
commands (`build`, documented here, and `batch`, documented in the [relative
page](Batch.md)) to achieve both results.
From version 1.3.3, additionally, the default values for the available options
for the single build (`build` verb)
have been *differentiated* and *simplified* from the ones available for the set of builds (`batch` verb).
Hopefully, the chosen defaults would require the lowerst number of options to
be passed to the `build` command.
## Example runs ##
loaih build daily
Builds the daily build for today (reverting back to `current` if not
existent).
loaih build 20231231 -u -l standard
Builds the daily version for December 31st, 2023 as updatable and with
standard languages.
Options can also be specified with the longer version: for example, the
option `-s` (which asks the command to sign the AppImage) can also be
specified as `--sign`.
For the full description of all the available options and their relative default values, please check out the inline help for the `build` verb:
loaih build --help
## Default working paths ##
If not specified otherwise, a normal run would build the AppImage in the
directory in which the command has been run and it will download all the
required files in a `downloads` subfolder that created if missing and will be
removed entirely at the end of the build.
You can specify a different result directory with the `-r` option (e.g. `-r
/home/myuser/Desktop`), a different download directory with `-d` option (e.g.
`-d /tmp/downloads`) and keep the downloads with the `-k` option (`-k` for
*keep* downloads, for example if you plan to run different options for the
same query).
