I've built plugins to support the following languages:

• Ruby
• Erlang
• Elixir

There is a super-simple API for supporting more languages.

Copy-paste the following into command line:

git clone https://github.com/HashNuke/asdf.git ~/.asdf

Depending on your OS, run the following

# For Ubuntu or other linux distros
echo 'source $HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh' >> ~/.bashrc

# OR for Max OSX
echo 'source $HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh' >> ~/.bash_profile

If you use zsh or any other shell, replace .bashrc with the config file for the respective shell.

For most plugins, it is good if you have installed the following packages OR their equivalent on you OS

• OS X: Install these via homebrew automake autoconf openssl libyaml readline ncurses libxslt libtool unixodbc
• Ubuntu: automake autoconf libreadline-dev libncurses-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libxslt-dev libffi-dev libtool unixodbc-dev

That's all ~! You are ready to use asdf

Plugins are how asdf understands how to handle different packages.

asdf plugin-add <name> <git-url>
# asdf plugin-add erlang https://github.com/HashNuke/asdf-erlang.git

asdf plugin-remove <name>
# asdf plugin-remove erlang

asdf plugin-update --all

If you want to update a specific package, just say so.

asdf plugin-update <name>
# asdf plugin-update erlang

asdf install <name> <version>
# asdf install erlang 17.3

asdf uninstall <name> <version>
# asdf uninstall erlang 17.3

asdf list <name>
# asdf list erlang

asdf list-all <name>
# asdf list-all erlang

asdf use <name> <version>
# asdf use erlang 17.5

This will set the requested version of the package for the current terminal session.

Add a .tool-versions file to your project dir and versions of those packages will be used.

elixir 1.0.2
erlang 17.3
