Documentation is currently for moon v2 and latest proto. Documentation for moon v1 has been frozen and can be found here.

setup

The proto setup command will setup proto in your current shell by modifying an applicable profile file and appending proto's bin directory to PATH. If a shell could not be detected, you'll be prompted to select one.

$ proto setup

During setup, the following profiles will be searched or prompted for.

  • Bash
    • ~/.bash_profile
    • ~/.bashrc
    • ~/.profile
  • Elvish
    • ~/.elvish/rc.elv

Windows support​

In addition to updating a shell profile file (most likely PowerShell), we'll also modify the PATH (or Path) system environment variable, by prepending the ~/.proto/shims and ~/.proto/bin paths.

If you would like to opt-out of this behavior, pass the --no-modify-path flag.

Options​

  • --shell - Shell to explicitly setup for.
  • --no-modify-profile / PROTO_NO_MODIFY_PROFILE - Don't update a shell profile file.
  • --no-modify-path / PROTO_NO_MODIFY_PATH - Don't update the system PATH environment variable (Windows only).
  • --yes - Avoid interactive prompts and use defaults.
