# DVM - D Version Manager

DVM allows you to easily download and install D compilers and manage different versions of the

compilers. When you switch D compiler with the `use` command the compiler will only be

available in the current shell. This allows you to have one version of the compiler in one

shell and another version in another shell. For example, have a D1 version in one shell and a

D2 version in another.

## Installation

### General Installation Instructions:

1. Download the DVM tool from: https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dvm/releases

2. Add executable permissions to the downloaded file.

3. Run the installation: `$ ./ install dvm` (where `` is the name of the downloaded file)

### Example of installation:

#### Mac OS X:

    $ curl -L -o dvm https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dvm/releases/download/v0.5.1/dvm-0.5.1-macos && chmod +x dvm && ./dvm install dvm

#### Linux 64bit

    $ curl -L -o dvm https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dvm/releases/download/v0.5.1/dvm-0.5.1-linux-ubuntu14.04-x86_64 && chmod +x dvm && ./dvm install dvm

#### Linux 32bit

    $ curl -L -o dvm https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dvm/releases/download/v0.4.4/dvm-0.4.4-linux-debian6-x86 && chmod +x dvm && ./dvm install dvm

#### FreeBSD 64bit (Bash required)

    $ curl -L -o dvm https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dvm/releases/download/v0.4.4/dvm-0.4.4-freebsd-pcbsd9.1-x86_64 && chmod +x dvm && ./dvm install dvm

#### Windows

Follow the general installation instructions.

https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dvm/releases/download/v0.5.1/dvm-0.5.0-win32.exe

#### Upgrading from 0.2.0 to 0.3.0

It might be necessary to do a complete clean installation by removing ~/.dvm. This is in

particular if you had any problems with the previous shell scripts not working.

## Usage

### Install Compilers

* Install a D compiler (DMD): `$ dvm install 2.068.1`

* Install a D compiler (DMD) with Tango as the standard library: `$ dvm install 1.072 -t`

### Use a Compiler

* Use a D compiler (DMD): `$ dvm use 2.068.1`

* Use a D compiler (DMD) and set it to default: `$ dvm use 2.068.1 -d`

* Show usage information: `$ dvm -h`

## License

The source code is available under the [Boost Software License 1.0](http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt)

## Limitations

* Currently DMD is the only supported compiler

* On Windows DVM does not work in the PowerShell prompt, only in cmd. Although,

  it is possible to set a default compiler, `dvm use  -d`, in cmd and

  then use the compiler in the PowerShell prompt.
