CVM for Windows

Removing the hassle of changing Composer versions in the CLI on Windows.

This package has a much more niche use case than nvm does. When developing on Windows and using the integrated terminal, it's quite difficult to get those terminals to actually listen to PATH changes.

This utility changes that.

Installation

Download the latest CVM version from the releases page .

Create the folder %UserProfile%\.cvm\bin (e.g. C:\Users\Example\.cvm\bin) and drop the cvm exe in there. Add the folder to your PATH.

Commands

cvm list

Will list out all the available Composer versions you have installed

cvm path

Will tell you what to put in your Path variable.

cvm use 2.7.7

[!NOTE]
Versions must have major.minor specified in the use command. If a .patch version is omitted, newest available patch version is chosen.

Will switch your currently active Composer version to Composer 2.7.7

cvm install 2.7

[!NOTE]
The install command will automatically determine the newest minor/patch versions if they are not specified

Will install Composer 2.7 at the latest patch.

Thanks
