Purescript Version Manager
Installation
First, let's install psvm through npm : npm install -g psvm
.
FYI, psvm will create a directory $HOME/.psvm
and will work in it as the
default directory. If you want to use a different directory, you can set an
environment variable PSVM_HOME
.
It will :
- put versions of Purescript you download in
$HOME/.psvm/versions
(or$PSVM_HOME/versions
, if$PSVM_HOME
is set) - put all bin files for the version you want to use in
$HOME/.psvm/current/bin
(or$PSVM_HOME/current/bin
, if$PSVM_HOME
is set)
Because of the last point, it's necessary you add $HOME/.psvm/current/bin
in your PATH.

Let's run psvm --help
to see what we can do:

- To install the latest version of Purescript :

Note:
- Some old versions of PureScript only offer the source code, they will not be installed.
- psvm has been tested on 64-bit versions of Mac OS, Linux, and Windows.
- psvm uses the GitHub API for some commands, which can lead to rate limiting, especially on CI services. If an environment variable
GITHUB_API_TOKEN
is set, it will be used for authenticating to the GitHub API.
