Introducing the Inko version manager

Published on July 30, 2018

Inko now has an official version manager, making it much easier to install Inko in a development environment.

The version manager, called "ienv", can be used to manage Inko installations in a development environment. This makes it much easier to install a new version of Inko, compared to building from source. For example, to install version 0.1.0 of Inko all you need to do is run the following:

ienv install 0.1.0

Removing a version is also simple:

ienv remove 0.1.0

ienv is a very simple version manager, written in Bash. Currently it only officially supports Linux, but supporting BSD and Mac OS is planned. For Windows we currently don't offer any support.
