Installing scriptcs versions

The svm install command allows you to find and install scriptcs versions from the following source locations:

• stable (Chocolatey)
• nightlies (MyGet)
• local path (folder or .nupkg file)

List versions to install

The following command will list the scriptcs versions that are available to install.

 svm install <-l|-list>

This list is currently hard-coded in svm and only contains the last 5 stable releases (hence the current requirement to create a new release for new scriptcs versions). An api is on the roadmap that will provide svm with an up-to-date list of stable and nightly releases.

Example

 > svm install -l

 scriptcs version manager - 0.3.3

 The following scriptcs versions are available for installation:

   0.12.0
   0.11.0
   0.10.2
   0.10.1
   0.10.0

Install version

The following command will install the scriptcs version indicated by <version>.

 svm install <version>

The versions available are from the hard-coded list in svm that only contains the last 5 stable releases. An api is on the roadmap that will provide svm with an up-to-date list of stable and nightly releases.

Example

 > svm install 0.12.0

 scriptcs version manager - 0.3.3

 Downloading version '0.12.0' from 'http://chocolatey.org/api/v2/package/ScriptCs/0.12.0'.
 Installing version '0.12.0'.
 Version '0.12.0' is now available.
 Consider using svm use <version> to set it as the active scriptcs version.

Install version from path

The following command will install a scriptcs version from path <path> as version <version>. The path may be a local folder or a local NuGet package. If the path is a local folder, then a soft link to the local folder is created. Use the -snapshot option to create a snapshot of the local folder instead of a soft link.

  svm install <version> <-f|-from> <path> [-s|-snapshot]

Example

This example installs a soft-linked version devbuild-0.13.0 from the local folder C:\scriptcs\artifacts\Release\bin on a Windows box. The JUNCTION (softlink) is visible via the dir command.

 > svm install devbuild-0.13.0 -f 'C:\scriptcs\artifacts\Release\bin'

 scriptcs version manager - 0.3.3

 Obtaining version 'devbuild-0.13.0' from 'C:\scriptcs\artifacts\Release\bin'.
 Installing version 'devbuild-0.13.0'.
 Version 'devbuild-0.13.0' is now available.
 Consider using svm use <version> to set it as the active scriptcs version.
