Save this to MyFirstApp.fx, then compile using the javafxc command. (Make
sure the SDK bin directory is in your command path.)

$ javafxc MyFirstApp.fx

program by using the javafx command:

$ javafx MyFirstApp

There you have it: your first JavaFX Script application. You are now ready to
move on to more interesting content.

The javafxc compiler command is very similar to the javac compiler com-

the Java compiler command. The basic format of the javafxc command is

$ javafxc <options> <source files>
