@ctrixin/mms

Publication pending: this package is prepared but is not yet available on npm. Use the main curl installer until it is published.

One command to install MMS on a machine that already has Node.js:

npx @ctrixin/mms

It installs the latest MMS release, then offers to open MMS Web. Accept and the browser opens while the server keeps running in the background.

Which command should I use?

This package is the shortcut for people who already have Node.js. On a bare machine use the primary installer instead, because it bootstraps Node.js by itself:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CtriXin/multi-model-switch/main/install.sh | bash

Both paths run the same installer and produce the same result.

Registry publication is pending. The commands below become available after publication; use the primary curl installer above in the meantime.

Arguments

Installer options are forwarded. Selection options also accept --ref=value and --channel=value; the last selection wins. Stable resolves the published release first, then pins both installer and source to that tag:

npx @ctrixin/mms --channel dev        # the dev channel
npx @ctrixin/mms --ref v4.3.0         # pin a release or branch
npx @ctrixin/mms --no-launch-web      # do not open MMS Web at the end
npx @ctrixin/mms --dry-run            # print the plan, write nothing
npx @ctrixin/mms --help               # the installer's own help

--channel and --ref also decide which version of the installer itself is downloaded, so the script and the sources it installs always match.

What this package does

It first resolves the stable GitHub Release (or your explicit ref), then downloads install.sh from the repository over HTTPS and runs it with bash, forwarding your arguments. It contains no install logic of its own, which is why a cached copy still installs the current MMS.

Because it downloads and executes a shell script, it is kept small and auditable: the source host is pinned to raw.githubusercontent.com, redirects are refused before following them, and the payload is checked before anything runs.

Temporary scripts are removed after both successful and failed runs. Network and release lookup failures stop with an error instead of silently installing a different version.

Its own version number carries no meaning about which MMS you get. It always installs the latest release unless you pass --ref or --channel.

Requirements

Node.js 18.17 or newer, and bash. macOS and Linux only. On Windows, run it from WSL.
