Running Solution Directly

The run command is used to run the solution directly from the AppHost directory against a cluster within your KUBECONFIG.

The command will first create the manifest file, however, this can be overridden if you pass in the path to an existing manifest file using the --aspire-manifest or -m flag and supplying the path.

aspirate run

aspirate run -m ./manifest.json

To clean-up after using the run command, you can use the Stop command.

```bash
aspirate stop
```

This deletes anything added to the Namespace within the state file, and removes the namespace.
