mise generate install-script

• Usage: mise generate install-script [FLAGS]
• Effect: modifies state
• Source code: src/cli/generate/install_script.rs

Generate a script to download+execute mise

This is designed to be used in a project where contributors may not have mise installed.

Renamed from mise generate bootstrap, which read as a form of mise bootstrap (machine setup). The old name still works but is deprecated and will be removed in mise 2027.9.0.

Flags

• -l --localize — Sandboxes mise internal directories like MISE_DATA_DIR and MISE_CACHE_DIR into a .mise directory in the project

  This is necessary if users may use a different version of mise outside the project.

• -V --version <VERSION> — Specify mise version to fetch

• -w --write [WRITE] — instead of outputting the script to stdout, write to a file and make it executable

• --localized-dir <LOCALIZED_DIR> — Directory to put localized data into

  Default: .mise

• --windows — Also write a Windows launcher, <WRITE>.cmd

  Windows cannot execute the #!/usr/bin/env bash script, so a contributor who clones the project on Windows has nothing to run without this.

  Generated on every host, not only on Windows: the file is committed, and whoever runs it on Windows is not the person who generated it. Requires --write, since stdout cannot carry two files.

• -h --help — Print help

Examples:

$ mise generate install-script --write ./bin/mise
$ ./bin/mise install                                    # downloads mise to .mise if not already installed

# add a launcher for contributors who clone the project on Windows
$ mise generate install-script --write ./bin/mise --windows  # also writes bin/mise.cmd
$ .\bin\mise.cmd install
