Installing and Running Your OpenHarmony App

To install your OpenHarmony app, use the hdc tool to manually run the corresponding commands.

You can manually obtain the hdc tool from the open-source repository. Use the tool to send the compiled HAP package to the device and run the corresponding hdc commands to install the app.

The hdc commands are as follows:

  • File sending

    file send localpath remotepath

    Example:

    hdc_std file send E:\hwadmin.hap /data/local/tmp/hwadmin.hap
    
  • App installation

    install [-r/-d/-g] package

    Example:

    hdc_std install hwadmin.hap
    
  • Log capturing

    hilog

    Example:

    hdc_std hilog
    

For details about how to use the hdc tool and the command format, see the open-source repository docs/en/device-dev/subsystems/hdc-usage-guidelines.md.
