CVM: The Cortex Version Manager

Version Manager for Cortex, the package manager for browsers.

• Allow processes with different versions of cortex, which is useful for CI
• Install and uninstall specified version of cortex
• Switch to an installed version in miniseconds

Install

$ npm install -g cvm

Support multiple processes

To use different versions for cortex for multiple processes, you need to source it from your shell:

source /path/to/cvm/cvm-use.sh

I always add this line to my ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, or ~/.zshrc file to have it automatically sourced upon login.

or

$ make install
