View Source mix local.hex (Mix v1.15.7)

Installs Hex locally.

    $ mix local.hex [version]

By default the latest compatible version of Hex will be installed, unless `version` is specified.

If installing a precompiled Hex does not work, you can compile and install Hex directly with this command:

    $ mix archive.install github hexpm/hex branch latest

## Command line options

- `--force` - forces installation without a shell prompt; primarily intended for automation in build systems like `make`

- `--if-missing` - performs installation only if Hex is not installed yet; intended to avoid repeatedly reinstalling Hex in automation when a script may be run multiple times

If both options are set, the shell prompt is skipped and Hex is not re-installed if it was already installed.

## Mirrors

If you want to change the default mirror used for fetching Hex, set the `HEX_BUILDS_URL` environment variable.
