Install

One binary for Linux and macOS, from a script, mise, a .deb or source.

Ready-made binaries

$ curl -fsSL https://multiversectl.dev/install.sh | sh
# linux/darwin, amd64/arm64; set MULTIVERSECTL_VERSION to pin a release

$ brew install cristiansteib/tap/multiversectl

Or brew tap cristiansteib/tap once, then brew install multiversectl.

$ mise use -g ubi:cristiansteib/multiversectl

Download the .deb from the releases page, then:

$ sudo dpkg -i multiversectl_*.deb

The script and the .deb also install a short alias, mvctl. Later: multiversectl update replaces the binary with the latest release.

Go 1.27 or newer:

$ git clone https://github.com/cristiansteib/multiversectl
$ cd multiversectl && make install   # builds into ~/.local/bin

make install honours PREFIX, so make install PREFIX=/usr/local/bin puts it on the system path instead.

A container runtime with docker compose v2.
git, new enough for git worktree.
Nothing else. multiversectl runs no daemon of its own; the only long-lived process it starts is the shared proxy, and that is a container.

multiversectl doctor checks all of it and names what is missing.
