You need to structure the directory correctly so that the tiddlywiki
node.js process understands your commands.
Write all your tiddlers & a "tiddlywiki.info" file (json format) as below:
```
./WikiDirectory/
|--tiddlywiki.info
|--tiddlers/
|----All_your_tids.tid
```
and make sure your "tiddlywiki.info" file as a "Build Target":
```
{
plugins: [],
"build": { "index": [
"--rendertiddler","$:/core/save/all","index.html","text/plain"] }
}
```
Once your program has created that file structure, you need to call the
tiddlywiki process as below:
`tiddlywiki "C/path/to/the/WikiDirectory" --build index`
This will generate a new folder in your wiki directory called "output" with
a new "index.html" file as your built-wiki.
