vlt /vōlt/

Develop. Run. Distribute.

This is the source monorepo for the vlt package manager.

Full documentation, startup guides & API references can be found at docs.vlt.sh.

Development requires Git, Node.js 22.22.x, and the latest released vlt CLI. The repository's .nvmrc selects the supported Node.js major when using nvm.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/vltpkg/vltpkg.git
cd vltpkg

# Install and select the Node.js version from .nvmrc
nvm install
nvm use

# Install the released CLI used to bootstrap the repository
curl -fsSL https://install.vlt.sh | bash

# Install dependencies and prepare generated workspace files
vlt install
vlr --recursive prepare

# Run the CLI directly from source
./scripts/bins/vlt --version

vlt setup is not required for this repository. That command connects the CLI to a vlt.io account; this repository's checked-in vlt.json already configures the registry used to bootstrap its dependencies.

See the contributing guide for development commands and workspace-specific guidance.
