The following demo shows how to install and use mise
to manage multiple versions of node
on the same system. Note that calling which node
gives us a real path to node, not a shim.
It also shows that you can use mise
to install and many other tools such as jq
, terraform
, or go
.
See demo transcript.
See Getting started for more options.
$ curl https://mise.run | sh $ ~/.local/bin/mise --version 2025.7.4 macos-arm64 (a1b2d3e 2025-07-11)
Hook mise into your shell (pick the right one for your shell):
# note this assumes mise is located at ~/.local/bin/mise # which is what https://mise.run does by default echo 'eval "$(~/.local/bin/mise activate bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc echo 'eval "$(~/.local/bin/mise activate zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc echo '~/.local/bin/mise activate fish | source' >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish echo '~/.local/bin/mise activate pwsh | Out-String | Invoke-Expression' >> ~/.config/powershell/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1Execute commands with specific tools
$ mise exec node@22 -- node -v mise node@22.x.x ✓ installed v22.x.x
$ mise use --global node@22 go@1 $ node -v v22.x.x $ go version go version go1.x.x macos/arm64
See dev tools for more examples.
Manage environment variables# mise.toml [env] SOME_VAR = "foo"
$ mise set SOME_VAR=bar $ echo $SOME_VAR bar
Note that mise
can also load .env
files.
# mise.toml [tasks.build] description = "build the project" run = "echo building..."
$ mise run build building...
See tasks for more information.
Here is a combined example to give you an idea of how you can use mise to manage your a project's tools, environment, and tasks.
# mise.toml [tools] terraform = "1" aws-cli = "2" [env] TF_WORKSPACE = "development" AWS_REGION = "us-west-2" AWS_PROFILE = "dev" [tasks.plan] description = "Run terraform plan with configured workspace" run = """ terraform init terraform workspace select $TF_WORKSPACE terraform plan """ [tasks.validate] description = "Validate AWS credentials and terraform config" run = """ aws sts get-caller-identity terraform validate """ [tasks.deploy] description = "Deploy infrastructure after validation" depends = ["validate", "plan"] run = "terraform apply -auto-approve"
Run it with:
mise install # install tools specified in mise.toml mise run deploy
