The native crystal installer uses this path so it's convenient to follow the same pattern. \n\n[![asciicast](https://asciinema.org/a/277155.svg)](https://asciinema.org/a/277155)\n\n## Usage\n\n```bash\n\nball --show             # shows a list of install versions\nball --install 0.30.1   # installs and uses the specified version\nball --clean            # removes all installs and symlinks\n\n```\n\n## Contributing\n\n1.
