mise plugins install ​

  • Usage: mise plugins install [FLAGS] [NEW_PLUGIN] [GIT_URL]
  • Aliases: i, a, add
  • Effect: modifies state
  • Source code: src/cli/plugins/install.rs

Install plugins from a configured source, Git URL, or archive

Most registry tools use built-in backends and need no plugin. When a tool's backend requires a plugin, mise installs it with the tool. Use this command to install one ahead of time or from a custom source.

Pass a name that the registry or a [plugins] entry knows, a name and a URL, or only a URL. With only a URL, the plugin is named after the repository without an asdf-, mise-, or vfox- prefix. Pass several names to install several plugins. Prefix a name with vfox:, vfox-backend:, package:, or asdf: to choose the plugin type.

A Git URL may end in #ref to select a plugin commit, tag, or branch. This selects the plugin code, separately from the tool version mise use installs.

Arguments ​

  • [NEW_PLUGIN] — The plugin to install, or a URL to infer its name from
  • [GIT_URL] — Where to install from: a Git URL (optionally ending in #ref) or an archive URL

Flags ​

  • -a --all — Install every plugin the current config needs that is not installed yet

    Only plugins with a registry shorthand or a [plugins] entry can be installed this way.

  • -f --force — Reinstall even if the plugin is already installed

  • -j --jobs <JOBS> — Number of plugins to install in parallel (default: the jobs setting)

  • -v --verbose — Show installation output

  • -h --help — Print help
