# asdf [](https://travis-ci.org/asdf-vm/asdf)
|
||||
|
||||
### _extendable version manager_
|
||||
|
||||
Supported languages include Ruby, Node.js, Elixir and [more][plugins].
|
||||
Supporting a new language is as simple as [this plugin API][plugin_api].
|
||||
|
||||
[plugins]: https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-plugins
|
||||
[plugin_api]: https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf/blob/master/docs/plugins-create.md
|
||||
|
||||
## INSTALLATION
|
||||
|
||||
If you're on macOS you can [Install using Homebrew](https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf#homebrew-on-macos)
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Copy-paste the following into command line:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git ~/.asdf --branch v0.6.3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on your OS and shell, run the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* Bash on Ubuntu (and other Linux distros):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo -e '\n. $HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh' >> ~/.bashrc
|
||||
echo -e '\n. $HOME/.asdf/completions/asdf.bash' >> ~/.bashrc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Bash on macOS:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo -e '\n. $HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh' >> ~/.bash_profile
|
||||
echo -e '\n. $HOME/.asdf/completions/asdf.bash' >> ~/.bash_profile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Zsh:
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using a framework, such as oh-my-zsh, use these lines. (Be sure
|
||||
that if you make future changes to .zshrc these lines remain _below_ the line
|
||||
where you source your framework.)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo -e '\n. $HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh' >> ~/.zshrc
|
||||
echo -e '\n. $HOME/.asdf/completions/asdf.bash' >> ~/.zshrc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you are not using a framework, or if on starting your shell you get an
|
||||
error message like 'command not found: compinit', then add this line before
|
||||
the ones above.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Fish:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo 'source ~/.asdf/asdf.fish' >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.config/fish/completions; and cp ~/.asdf/completions/asdf.fish ~/.config/fish/completions
|
||||
```
|
||||
Restart your shell so that PATH changes take effect. (Opening a new terminal
|
||||
tab will usually do it.)
|
||||
|
||||
Also if you're having issues with it not detecting the shims you've installed
|
||||
it's most-likely due to the sourcing of above `asdf.bash` or `asdf.fish` not
|
||||
being at the bottom of your `~/.bash_profile`, `~/.zshrc`, or
|
||||
`~/.config/fish/config.fish`. It needs to be sourced *after* you've set your
|
||||
`$PATH.`
|
||||
|
||||
> For most plugins, it is good if you have installed the following packages OR
|
||||
> their equivalent on your OS
|
||||
|
||||
> * **macOS**: Install these via homebrew `coreutils automake autoconf openssl libyaml readline libxslt libtool unixodbc`
|
||||
> * **Ubuntu**: `automake autoconf libreadline-dev libncurses-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libxslt-dev libffi-dev libtool unixodbc-dev`
|
||||
> * **Fedora**: `automake autoconf readline-devel ncurses-devel openssl-devel libyaml-devel libxslt-devel libffi-devel libtool unixODBC-devel`
|
||||
|
||||
**That's all ~! You are ready to use asdf**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## USAGE
|
||||
|
||||
These instructions are for a specific version of asdf. Make sure the version
|
||||
README you refer to matches the version of asdf you have installed. Checkout a
|
||||
specific tagged version in the GitHub branches/tags drop-down if you need to.
|
||||
|
||||
### Manage plugins
|
||||
|
||||
Plugins are how asdf understands how to handle different packages. The [plugins
|
||||
repository][plugins] lists all of the asdf plugins we know of and there is a
|
||||
[super-simple API][plugin_api] for supporting more languages.
|
||||
|
||||
##### Add a plugin
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
asdf plugin-add <name>
|
||||
# asdf plugin-add erlang
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the plugin you want to install is not part of the plugins repository, you
|
||||
can add it using its repository URL:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
asdf plugin-add <name> <git-url>
|
||||
# asdf plugin-add elm https://github.com/vic/asdf-elm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### List installed plugins
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
asdf plugin-list
|
||||
# asdf plugin-list
|
||||
# java
|
||||
# nodejs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
asdf plugin-list --urls
|
||||
# asdf plugin-list
|
||||
# java https://github.com/skotchpine/asdf-java.git
|
||||
# nodejs https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### Remove a plugin
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
asdf plugin-remove <name>
|
||||
# asdf plugin-remove erlang
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### Update plugins
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
asdf plugin-update --all
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to update a specific package, just say so.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
asdf plugin-update <name>
|
||||
# asdf plugin-update erlang
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### Update asdf itself
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
asdf update
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you want the latest changes that aren't yet included in a stable release:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
asdf update --head
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Manage versions
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
asdf install <name> <version>
|
||||
# asdf install erlang 17.3
|
||||
|
||||
asdf current
|
||||
# asdf current
|
||||
# erlang 17.3 (set by /Users/kim/.tool-versions)
|
||||
# nodejs 6.11.5 (set by /Users/kim/cool-node-project/.tool-versions)
|
||||
|
||||
asdf current <name>
|
||||
# asdf current erlang
|
||||
# 17.3 (set by /Users/kim/.tool-versions)
|
||||
|
||||
asdf uninstall <name> <version>
|
||||
# asdf uninstall erlang 17.3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
_If a plugin supports downloading & compiling from source, you can specify
|
||||
`ref:foo` where `foo` is a specific branch, tag, or commit._ You'll need to use
|
||||
the same name and reference when uninstalling too.
|
||||
|
||||
##### Lists installed versions
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
asdf list <name>
|
||||
# asdf list erlang
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### List all available versions
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
asdf list-all <name>
|
||||
# asdf list-all erlang
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### View current version
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
asdf current <name>
|
||||
# asdf current erlang
|
||||
# 17.3 (set by /Users/kim/.tool-versions)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Set current version
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
asdf global <name> <version>
|
||||
asdf local <name> <version>
|
||||
# asdf global elixir 1.2.4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`global` writes the version to `$HOME/.tool-versions`.
|
||||
|
||||
`local` writes the version to `$PWD/.tool-versions`, creating it if needed.
|
||||
|
||||
See [The `.tool-versions` file](#the-tool-versions-file) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, if you want to set a version only for the current shell session
|
||||
or for executing just a command under a particular tool version, you
|
||||
can set an environment variable like `ASDF_${TOOL}_VERSION`.
|
||||
|
||||
The following example runs tests on an Elixir project with version `1.4.0`.
|
||||
The version format is the same supported by the `.tool-versions` file.
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
ASDF_ELIXIR_VERSION=1.4.0 mix test
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Shims
|
||||
|
||||
When asdf installs a package it creates shims for every executable program in
|
||||
that package in a `$ASDF_DATA_DIR/shims` directory (default `~/.asdf/shims`).
|
||||
This directory being on the `$PATH` (by means of `asdf.sh` or `asdf.fish`) is
|
||||
how the installed programs are made available in the environment.
|
||||
|
||||
The shims themselves are really simple wrappers that `exec` a helper program
|
||||
`asdf-exec` passing it the name of the plugin and path to the executable in
|
||||
the installed package that the shim is wrapping.
|
||||
|
||||
The `asdf-exec` helper determines the version of tha package to use (as
|
||||
specified in `.tool-versions` file, selected by `asdf local ...` or
|
||||
`asdf global ...`), the final path to the executable in the package
|
||||
installation directory (this can be manipulated by the `exec-path` callback in
|
||||
the plugin) and the environment to execute in (also provided by the plugin -
|
||||
`exec-env` script), and finally it executes it.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that because this system uses `exec` calls, any scripts in the package
|
||||
that are meant to be sourced by the shell instead of executed need to be
|
||||
accessed directly instead of via the shim wrapper. The two asdf commands:
|
||||
`which` and `where` can help with this by returning the path to the installed
|
||||
package:
|
||||
|
||||
``` sh
|
||||
# returns path to main executable in current version
|
||||
source $(asdf which ${PLUGIN})/../script.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# returns path to the package installation directory
|
||||
source $(asdf where ${PLUGIN} $(asdf current ${PLUGIN}))/bin/script.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## The `.tool-versions` file
|
||||
|
||||
Whenever `.tool-versions` file is present in a directory, the tool versions it
|
||||
declares will be used in that directory and any subdirectories.
|
||||
**Global defaults can be set in the file `$HOME/.tool-versions`**
|
||||
|
||||
This is what a `.tool-versions` file looks like:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ruby 2.2.0
|
||||
nodejs 0.12.3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The versions can be in the following format:
|
||||
|
||||
* `0.12.3` - an actual version. Plugins that support downloading binaries, will
|
||||
download binaries.
|
||||
* `ref:v1.0.2-a` or `ref:39cb398vb39` - tag/commit/branch to download from
|
||||
github and compile
|
||||
* `path:/src/elixir` - a path to custom compiled version of a tool to use. For
|
||||
use by language developers and such.
|
||||
* `system` - this keyword causes asdf to passthrough to the version of the tool
|
||||
on the system that is not managed by asdf.
|
||||
|
||||
To install all the tools defined in a `.tool-versions` file run `asdf install`
|
||||
with no other arguments in the directory containing the `.tool-versions` file.
|
||||
|
||||
Edit the file directly or use `asdf local` (or `asdf global`) which updates it.
|
||||
|
||||
## The `$HOME/.asdfrc` config file
|
||||
|
||||
Add a `.asdfrc` file to your home directory and asdf will use the settings
|
||||
specified in the file. The file should be formatted like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
legacy_version_file = yes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Settings**
|
||||
|
||||
* `legacy_version_file` - defaults to `no`. If set to yes it will cause plugins
|
||||
that support this feature to read the version files used by other version
|
||||
managers (e.g. `.ruby-version` in the case of Ruby's rbenv).
|
||||
|
||||
## Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
* `ASDF_CONFIG_FILE` - Defaults to `~/.asdfrc` as described above. Can be set
|
||||
to any location.
|
||||
* `ASDF_DEFAULT_TOOL_VERSIONS_FILENAME` - The name of the file storing the tool
|
||||
names and versions. Defaults to `.tool-versions`. Can be any valid file name.
|
||||
* `ASDF_DATA_DIR` - Defaults to `~/.asdf` - Location where `asdf` install
|
||||
plugins, shims and installs. Can be set to any location before sourcing
|
||||
`asdf.sh` or `asdf.fish` mentioned in the section above.
|
||||
|
||||
## Uninstall
|
||||
|
||||
[Uninstalling asdf is easy](https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf/blob/master/docs/core-manage-asdf-vm.md#remove).
|
||||
|
||||
## Homebrew on macOS
|
||||
|
||||
You can also install asdf using the Homebrew package manager for macOS.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
brew update
|
||||
brew install asdf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To upgrade asdf in the future, use upgrade instead of install.
|
||||
|
||||
Then follow the rest of the post-installation steps under the [Setup](https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf#setup) section above.
|
||||
|
||||
## Docker images
|
||||
|
||||
The [asdf-alpine][asdf-alpine] and [asdf-ubuntu][asdf-ubuntu] projects are an
|
||||
ongoing effort to provide Dockerized images of some asdf tools. You can use
|
||||
these docker images as base for your development servers, or for running your
|
||||
production apps.
|
||||
|
||||
[asdf-alpine]: https://github.com/vic/asdf-alpine
|
||||
[asdf-ubuntu]: https://github.com/vic/asdf-ubuntu
|
||||
|
||||
## Development
|
||||
|
||||
To develop the project, you can simply `git clone` the master branch. If you
|
||||
want to try out your changes without making change to your installed `asdf`,
|
||||
you can set the `$ASDF_DIR` variable to the path where you cloned the
|
||||
repository, and temporarily prepend the `bin` and `shims` directory of the
|
||||
directory to your path.
|
||||
|
||||
We use [bats](https://github.com/sstephenson/bats) for testing, so make sure
|
||||
`bats test/` passes after you made your changes.
