arrai path/to/file.arrai

or use the run command

arrai run path/to/file.arrai

arrai run can be used to avoid ambiguity between filename and a command. For example, running an arrai file named run (arrai run run). Alternatively, include a subdirectory component in the filename (arrai ./run).

arrai observe localhost '$'

Update a server

arrai update localhost '{a: {|1, 2, 3|}, b: "hello"}'
