Installing DVNM on Mac OS X without Homebrew

[weegeekps]

Is it possible to install DVNM on Mac OS X without Homebrew? I ask because since I run Macports on my Mac instead of Homebrew (because Homebrew simply doesn't have the packages I need) I am unable to safely install Homebrew to actually install DVNM. Installing Homebrew alongside Macports can cause all sorts of major issues that I'd like to avoid.

I think you can just copy dnvm.sh to /usr/local/dnvm/ and run dnvm.sh from that path. I quess it will work as it is installed with Homebrew.

@ardacetinkaya Looks like @weegeekps actually asked how to install DNVM without installing Homebrew.

@weegeekps DNVM is the version manager portion of DNX so you actually want to install DNX: https://github.com/aspnet/dnx. Good luck.

I want this too. I think it is basically the same as the Linux instructions. Maybe the documentation just needs to be updated:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aspnet/Home/dev/dnvminstall.sh | DNX_BRANCH=dev sh && source ~/.dnx/dnvm/dnvm.sh

That source will only affect the current bash session. You then need to modify ~/.bashrc to include source ~/.dnx/dnvm/dnvm.sh. I think this will only work with bash and zsh.

@breiter It is not needed to add anything to .bashrc, as the dnvminstall.sh script already appends the source string to your .bash_profile in your home.
