# haxeget
The *easier* way to install and manage Haxe compiler versions
## Installation
On macOS and Linux, the easiest way to install is to use the meta-installer with this one command
```sh
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/l0go/haxeget/main/meta-install.sh | bash
```
On Windows and other platforms, you can download the executable from the [releases tab](https://github.com/l0go/haxeget/releases) and add it to your path.
## Usage
```sh
# Here is how we would install version 4.3.2 of the compiler
$ haxeget install 4.3.2
$ haxeget use 4.3.2
$ haxe # Can now run haxe and haxelib freely
```
If needed, we can install another version and switch freely between them with the ``haxeget use `` command.
## Commands
| Command | About |
| ------- | ----- |
| Install | Installs the specified version of Haxe or Neko. ex: ``4.3.3``, ``neko``, ``nightly`` |
| Uninstall | Uninstalls the specified version |
| Use | Selects the version of Haxe to use |
| List | Lists the installed versions |
| Rc | Installs the version of Haxe specified in .haxerc |
| Update | Updates ``haxeget`` to the latest version |
| Current | Outputs the currently used Haxe version |
## Why Rust?
I wanted to mess with the Rust programming language and this seemed like a decent opportunity. If I had proper hindsight, I would have written it in a better language like Go, Zig, or even godforbid Haxe itself. This gives us the interesting property of not forcing you to have a pre-existing Haxe compiler set up to install Haxe itself.
## Alternatives
- [haxe-manager](https://github.com/kLabz/haxe-manager/): The original inspiration for this, still a valid option!
- [asdf-haxe](https://github.com/asdf-community/asdf-haxe): If I was aware that asdf had a Haxe plugin, I would probably just have used that. Writing my own is a lot more entertaining though!
