| # Introduction | 
 |  | 
 | app_shell is an experimental project to build a minimal environment like | 
 | content_shell. | 
 |  | 
 | The goal is to be able to run a v2 app and supply most of the chrome.* extension | 
 | APIs without running the rest of Chrome. | 
 |  | 
 | app_shell is only officially supported on Chrome OS. | 
 |  | 
 | # How to run | 
 |  | 
 | $ app_shell --load-apps=/path/to/extension | 
 |  | 
 | # For example, you can try the calculator app: | 
 |  | 
 | $ app_shell --load-apps=chrome/common/extensions/docs/examples/apps/calculator/app/ | 
 |  | 
 | # To load multiple apps, specify them in a comma separated list.  The first app | 
 | # will be launched: | 
 |  | 
 | $ app_shell --load-apps=/path/to/extension1,/path/to/extension2 |
