Crystal Ball

A super simple crystal version manager for MacOS

NOTE The latest version only works for the universal packages which are crystal releases after 1.1.1

Requirements

You will need openssl 1.1 - the easiest way is to:

brew update
brew install openssl@1.1
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
# Verify 
openssl version

Installation

Quick Version

download the ball binary

curl -fsSL https://github.com/kingsleyh/ball/releases/download/v0.1.3/ball-v0.1.3 > ball

set executable permissions and put on your path

chmod +x ./ball && cp ./ball /usr/local/bin

Longer Version

clone this repository and run:

shards install && shards build --release --no-debug

Then copy the binary onto your path e.g.

cp bin/ball /usr/local/bin

For this app to work you must have /usr/local/bin on your path. The native crystal installer uses this path so it's convenient to follow the same pattern.

Usage

ball --show             # shows a list of install versions
ball --install 0.30.1   # installs and uses the specified version
ball --clean            # removes all installs and symlinks
