Similar to Python's python -m <module> [arg ...], e.g. python -m pip install janus_swi, SWI-Prolog allows for adding scripts to add commands to swipl. Such commands are executed as

swipl [prolog option ...] <app> [arg ...]

For example, to install the "add-on" (pack) julian, we can use

swipl pack install julian

The currently known apps can be listed using

swipl app list -l

Creating a app is similar to creating an executable as described in RunProgram.md. A script is turned into an app by placing it in a directory known by the alias app. See file_search_path/2.
