# dvm

> Install Dart SDKs and choose a Dart version for each project on macOS, Linux, or Windows. No existing Dart SDK is required.

Install dvm, configure your shell, then install and select a Dart SDK. Commit .dvmrc and ignore .dvm/.

`dvm use <version>` installs a missing SDK and saves an exact version. For a channel, run `dvm install stable` before `dvm use stable`. A cloned .dvmrc does not download its SDK automatically.

`dvm which` shows the selected SDK; `dvm doctor` diagnoses setup.
