SOMEBODY SET US UP THE BOMB
INSTALL ALL X
Securely install and keep updated all the x tools.
- npx
- uvx
- cargox
- brewx
- pkgx
Tools are installed from the VENDOR as root into /usr/local. It’s an
agentic world. Let’s be safe y’all.
Go, Ruby? Yo yo yo. If someone would make a gox or gemx that actually worked then we’d do it. Get at it yo.
curl -Ssf https://mxcl.dev/xxx/setup.sh |
sudo bash -exo pipefail &&
outdated | shWe have deliberately split this out so all you security minded good boys can feel less terrible about running a script from the internet.
setup.shonly installs our stubs andoutdated. It does as little as possible.outdatedonly outputs commands that it would do- So you then run it to install eg. node from the vendor etc.
Or if you hate curl | sh stuff then clone this repo and run ./install.sh.
This route does nothing, it just outputs what it would do and tells you how
to then do it yourself.
The same applies to outdated—by default it has no side effects and just
prepares any available updates for you to review and apply.
Check for outdated installs and upgrade only what needs it by running:
$ outdatedoutdatedhas no side effects; it prints an apply script to stdout.- Apply immediately with:
outdated | sh - Each managed item is checked for outdated status first.
Why? Because everything looks there. Not everything looks in
/opt/homebrew/bin or ~/.local/bin.
We install a mix of stubs that delegate to foox tools and direct installs.
We use uv managed pythons. Because they do it properly. Unlike everyone
else.
Your rust toolchain is managed via rustup. The stubs seemlessly delegate to
it and install it as required.
We do not mangle your shell environment with source $HOME/.cargo/env
instead the stubs dynamically inject that.
