## Usage

### Install FPC

Syntax

`fvm install`

Install the latest trunk version

`fvm install trunk`

Install the specific revision

`fvm install trunk@39496`

### Set active version

Show installed versions

`fvm ls`

Set active version (you can specify a full version, or the first part)

`fvm use 3.1`

### Make symlink

`fvm use` just sets shell alias for FPC. In some situations (e.g. Makefile) you want to have symlink to FPC instead of alias. To make symlink run:

`sudo ln -s "$(./fvm which)" /usr/local/bin/fpc`
