> :rocket: Fast and simple Node.js version manager, built in Rust
Blazing fast!
## Features :earth_americas: Cross-platform support (macOS, Windows, Linux) :sparkles: Single file, easy installation, instant startup :rocket: Built with speed in mind :open_file_folder: Works with `.node-version` and `.nvmrc` files ## Installation ### Using a script (macOS/Linux) For `bash`, `zsh` and `fish` shells, there's an [automatic installation script](./.ci/install.sh). First ensure that `curl` and `unzip` are already installed on you operating system. Then execute: ```sh curl -fsSL https://fnm.vercel.app/install | bash ``` #### Upgrade On macOS, it is as simple as `brew upgrade fnm`. On other operating systems, upgrading `fnm` is almost the same as installing it. To prevent duplication in your shell config file add `--skip-shell` to install command. #### Parameters `--install-dir` Set a custom directory for fnm to be installed. The default is `$HOME/.fnm`. `--skip-shell` Skip appending shell specific loader to shell config file, based on the current user shell, defined in `$SHELL`. e.g. for Bash, `$HOME/.bashrc`. `$HOME/.zshrc` for Zsh. For Fish - `$HOME/.config/fish/conf.d/fnm.fish` `--force-install` macOS installations using the installation script are deprecated in favor of the Homebrew formula, but this forces the script to install using it anyway. Example: ```sh curl -fsSL https://fnm.vercel.app/install | bash -s -- --install-dir "./.fnm" --skip-shell ``` ### Manually #### Using Homebrew (macOS/Linux) ```sh brew install fnm ``` Then, [set up your shell for fnm](#shell-setup) #### Using Scoop (Windows) ```sh scoop install fnm ``` Then, [set up your shell for fnm](#shell-setup) #### Using Chocolatey (Windows) ```sh choco install fnm ``` Then, [set up your shell for fnm](#shell-setup) #### Using Cargo (Linux/macOS/Windows) ```sh cargo install fnm ``` Then, [set up your shell for fnm](#shell-setup) #### Using a release binary (Linux/macOS/Windows) - Download the [latest release binary](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm/releases) for your system - Make it available globally on `PATH` environment variable - Configure your shell profile: ### Removing To remove fnm (😢), just delete the `.fnm` folder in your home directory. You should also edit your shell configuration to remove any references to fnm (ie. read [Shell Setup](#shell-setup), and do the opposite). ## Completions fnm ships its completions with the binary: ```sh fnm completions --shell ``` Where `` can be one of the supported shells: - `bash` - `zsh` - `fish` - `powershell` Please follow your shell instructions to install them. ### Shell Setup Environment variables need to be setup before you can start using fnm. This is done by evaluating the output of `fnm env`. To automatically run `fnm use` when a directory contains a `.node-version` or `.nvmrc` file, add the `--use-on-cd` option to your shell setup. Adding a `.node-version` to your project is as simple as: ```bash $ node --version v14.18.3 $ node --version > .node-version ``` Check out the following guides for the shell you use: #### Bash Add the following to your `.bashrc` profile: ```bash eval "$(fnm env --use-on-cd)" ``` #### Zsh Add the following to your `.zshrc` profile: ```zsh eval "$(fnm env --use-on-cd)" ``` #### Fish shell Create `~/.config/fish/conf.d/fnm.fish` add this line to it: ```fish fnm env --use-on-cd | source ``` #### PowerShell Add the following to the end of your profile file: ```powershell fnm env --use-on-cd | Out-String | Invoke-Expression ``` - On Windows, the profile is located at `~\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1` or `$PROFILE` - For macOS/Linux, the profile is located at `~/.config/powershell/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1` #### Windows Command Prompt aka Batch aka WinCMD fnm is also supported but is not entirely covered. [You can set up a startup script](https://superuser.com/a/144348) and append the following line: ```batch FOR /f "tokens=*" %i IN ('fnm env --use-on-cd') DO CALL %i ``` ⚠️ If you get the error `i was unexpected at this time`, please make a .cmd file as suggested by the first step in the Usage with Cmder secton add it's path to the `AutoRun` registry key. #### Usage with Cmder Usage is very similar to the normal WinCMD install, apart for a few tweaks to allow being called from the cmder startup script. The example **assumes** that the `CMDER_ROOT` environment variable is **set** to the **root directory** of your Cmder installation. Then you can do something like this: - Make a .cmd file to invoke it ```batch :: %CMDER_ROOT%\bin\fnm_init.cmd @echo off FOR /f "tokens=*" %%z IN ('fnm env --use-on-cd') DO CALL %%z ``` - Add it to the startup script ```batch :: %CMDER_ROOT%\config\user_profile.cmd call "%CMDER_ROOT%\bin\fnm_init.cmd" ``` You can replace `%CMDER_ROOT%` with any other convenient path too. ## [Usage](./docs/commands.md) [See the available commands for an extended usage documentation](./docs/commands.md) ## Contributing PRs welcome :tada: ### Developing: ```sh # Install Rust git clone https://github.com/Schniz/fnm.git cd fnm/ cargo build ``` ### Running Binary: ```sh cargo run -- --help # Will behave like `fnm --help` ``` ### Running Tests: ```sh cargo test ```
