Getting Started

Read the documentation

Getting started with FonVex is straightforward and developer-friendly.
FonVex is built to fit naturally into existing command-line tools, scripts, and automation workflows without adding unnecessary complexity.

Each FonVex tool focuses on a single purpose—selecting items, collecting input, choosing multiple options, or browsing files—making it easy to pick exactly what you need. You don’t have to learn a large framework or adopt a new way of working. If you are comfortable with the command line, you are already most of the way there.
