Installation

1. Go to the GitHub releases page.

2. Download the corresponding archive for your operating system.

3. Extract the downloaded archive to a folder on your computer.

4. Open a terminal and locate the path of the extracted pesde binary.

   Windows

   If you extracted the archive to C:\Users\User\Downloads, the path to the pesde binary would be C:\Users\User\Downloads\pesde.exe.

   You can then run the self-install command:

   C:\Users\User\Downloads\pesde.exe self-install

   pesde should now be installed on your system. You may need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

   Caution

   pesde uses symlinks which are an administrator-level operation on Windows. To ensure proper functionality, enable Developer Mode.

   If you are getting errors such as Failed to symlink file, a required privilege is not held by the client, then enabling this setting will fix them.

   Linux & macOS

   If you extracted the archive to ~/Downloads, the path to the pesde binary would be ~/Downloads/pesde.

   You must then add execute permissions and run the self-install command:

   chmod +x ~/Downloads/pesde
   ~/Downloads/pesde self-install

   pesde should now be installed on your system. You will need to update your shell configuration file to add the pesde binary to your PATH environment variable.

   .zshrc

   export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.pesde/bin"

   You should then be able to run pesde after restarting your shell.

   
   

5. Verify that pesde is installed by running the following command:

   pesde -v

   This command should output the version of pesde that you installed.

Caution

It is not recommended to use toolchain managers (such as Rokit or Aftman) to install pesde. You can use pesde self-upgrade if you need to update pesde.

If you need everyone to use a compatible version of pesde, you can use the [engines.pesde] field in pesde.toml to specify the version of pesde to use for the current project.
