PXVM

A basic Prince XML version manager

Installation

• Clone the repository into the directory of your choosing
• Move to the cloned directory
• Optional: If you want to explicitly determine which profile to install the path shim in , you can set the PROFILE variable before using the install script (e.g. PROFILE=path/to/my/profile).
• Run command source ./script/install
• Then either restart your shell or run source ./script/instant_shim
• Try pxvm to test that the installation was successful

Note: If you are a OSX user on a Bash shell and your system cannot find the pxvm command after a shell restart, try adding source ${HOME}/.bashrc to .bash_profile in your home directory. As a one-liner, you can run: echo -e "\nsource \${HOME}/.bashrc" >> ${HOME}/.bash_profile

Note: The pxvm command itself is installed on a per-shell basis. If you change what shell you are using, then you will need to run the installation script again. Re-running the install script will not wipe your added Prince XML versions.
