With the newer versions of Cocos2d-x and Cocos2d-JS the Cocos Console will be more mandatory than ever.

Let’s learn how to run using the Cocos Console.

-p is the platform [mac, ios, web, android, win32]
-m is the mode [debug, release] (this is optional and if ommitted then mode is set to debug)
-s is the project directory (can be ommitted if you cd to the project directory first)

cocos run -s /Users/sonarsystems/Desktop/Game1 -p mac -m release
cocos run -p mac -m release

Quiet - reduces output to the console
---------------------------------------------
cocos run -q -s /Users/sonarsystems/Desktop/Game1 -p mac -m release
cocos run -q -p mac -m release

Web Browser Commands only
---------------------------------------------
cocos run -s /Users/sonarsystems/Desktop/Game1 -p web -b /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app
cocos run -p web -b /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app
