I don't know why, but after installing JDK, arara seems to work truly. But it doesn't generate any file. (Like PDF) this massage show:

What should I do?

% ‎arara‎: ‎pdflatex
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
Hello world.
\end{document}

did you give arara the file as in a command line arara myfile.tex ? It looks like you just ran arara with no arguments and it output the help text – David Carlisle Jul 29 '16 at 08:11
Can you explain how I Can give arara the file? – hossein behboodi Jul 29 '16 at 08:26

if your file is called myfile on the command line type arara myfile.tex if you run commands from the editor it depends on which editor you use and how you configure it. Basically exactly the same as a command such as pdflatex you need to tell it which file to use. How, without arara, would you execute pdflatex myfile.tex ? – David Carlisle Jul 29 '16 at 08:28
And I think you have to give compiling directions in the .tex file, e.g. % arara: pdflatex at the beginning of the file. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jul 29 '16 at 08:39

When I type "arara myfile.tex" on the command line I get this massage: "I didn't find any directives in 'asd.tex', and so didn't do anything. Is that what you really wanted?" – hossein behboodi Jul 29 '16 at 16:35
