bin

The proto bin <tool> [version] command will return an absolute path to a tool's binary within the toolchain. When a tool has not been installed, or a version cannot be resolved, the command will exit with a failure.

$ proto bin node 16.10.0
/Users/example/.proto/tools/node/16.10.0/bin/node

This command can also return directories using the --dir option.

$ proto bin node 16.10.0 --dir exes
/Users/example/.proto/tools/node/16.10.0/bin

$ proto bin node 16.10.0 --dir globals
/Users/example/.proto/tools/node/globals/bin
