haxeget's Introduction

haxeget

The easier way to install and manage Haxe compiler versions

Installation

On macOS and Linux, the easiest way to install is to use the meta-installer with this one command

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/l0go/haxeget/main/meta-install.sh | bash

On Windows and other platforms, you can download the executable from the releases tab and add it to your path.

Usage

# Here is how we would install version 4.3.2 of the compiler
$ haxeget install 4.3.2
$ haxeget use 4.3.2
$ haxe # Can now run haxe and haxelib freely

If needed, we can install another version and switch freely between them with the haxeget use <version> command.

Commands

Command	About
Install	Installs the specified version of Haxe or Neko. ex: `4.3.3`, `neko`, `nightly`
Uninstall	Uninstalls the specified version
Use	Selects the version of Haxe to use
List	Lists the installed versions
Rc	Installs the version of Haxe specified in .haxerc
Update	Updates `haxeget` to the latest version
Current	Outputs the currently used Haxe version

Why Rust?

I wanted to mess with the Rust programming language and this seemed like a decent opportunity. If I had proper hindsight, I would have written it in a better language like Go, Zig, or even godforbid Haxe itself. This gives us the interesting property of not forcing you to have a pre-existing Haxe compiler set up to install Haxe itself.

Alternatives

haxe-manager: The original inspiration for this, still a valid option!
asdf-haxe: If I was aware that asdf had a Haxe plugin, I would probably just have used that. Writing my own is a lot more entertaining though!

haxeget's Issues

help with use

im very sorry if this is a really fucking basic thing but i cannot for the life of me understand how to work this

Windows Support

Not a windows user myself, but this would probably be very helpful to some people. If you have an interest in working on this, please tell me! I can try to help in any way I can, even if you don't know Rust.

`haxe` in `.haxeget` is inacessible (Windows)

Wanted to try this haxeget project out, running into a few issues which I found a "solution" to.

Used the Cargo method to install haxeget and after installing Haxe 4.3.3 and adding it to PATH variables, the terminal still spewed out an error that there is no such command.

Looking into %HAXEPATH%, it puts the folder as C:\.haxeget\haxe, however, upon trying to open the folder, it says it's an invalid location.

The "fix" to this was setting the %HAXEPATH folder to C:\.haxeget\bin\haxe_20231117191750_de28889.

Opened an issue 'cause I'm not sure whether or not I'm doing something wrong or there's something wrong with the way it installs.

Allow installation of Neko

Add support to install, manage and set Hashlink VM versions.

If there's a possibility, adding support for managing Hashlink installs is a cool addition (at least for me).
