To setup the launcher, simply install the requirements with python3 -m pip install -r reqs.txt.

In order to actually use the launcher, create a launcher.json file and put the following in it:

[
    {
        "name": "Some Service",
        "id": "some-service",
        "dir": "/opt/some-service",
        "command": "ls"
    }
]

You can add as many as you like, and make them as detailed as you wish.
To start a service, run launch.py start <id>.

If you would like to see the other available commands, run launch.py help.
