# 3.5 Running Phing Now you are prepared to execute Phing on the command line or via script files. The following section briefly describe how to properly execute phing. 3.5.1 Command Line Phing execution on the command line is simple. Just change to the directory where your buildfile resides and type `$ phing [target [target2 [target3] ...]]` at the command line (where \[target...\] are the target(s) you want to be executed). If no target is specified Phing will try to execute the default target, as specified in the `project` tag. When calling multipe targets, Phing will invoke each target independently of the other targets. Optionally, you may specify command line arguments as listed in [Appendix A](appendixes/AppendixA-FactSheet.html#CommandLineArguments). For example, the following command line calls the default buildscript `build.xml` using the default target with the property `ftp.upload` set to true. `$ phing -Dftp.upload=true` 3.5.2 Supported command line arguments The following command line arguments are supported ``` -h -help print this message -l -list list available targets in this project -i -init [file] generates an initial buildfile -v -version print the version information and exit -q -quiet be extra quiet -S -silent print nothing but task outputs and build failures -verbose be extra verbose -debug print debugging information -emacs, -e produce logging information without adornments -diagnostics print diagnostics information -strict runs build in strict mode, considering a warning as error -no-strict runs build normally (overrides buildfile attribute) -longtargets show target descriptions during build -logfile <file> use given file for log -logger <classname> the class which is to perform logging -listener <classname> add an instance of class as a project listener -f -buildfile <file> use given buildfile -D<property>=<value> use value for given property -keep-going, -k execute all targets that do not depend on failed target(s) -propertyfile <file> load all properties from file -propertyfileoverride values in property file override existing values -find <file> search for buildfile towards the root of the filesystem and use it -inputhandler <file> the class to use to handle user input ```
