Configuring Settings

ZVM has additional settings stored in ~/.zvm/settings.json. You can manually update version maps, toggle color support, and disable the automatic upgrade checker here. All settings are also exposed as flags or environment variables. This file is stateful, and ZVM will create it if it does not exist and utilizes it for its operation.

Environment Variables

• ZVM_DEBUG enables DEBUG logging for your executable. This is meant for contributors and developers.
• ZVM_SET_CU Toggle the automatic upgrade checker. If you want to reenable the checker, just unset ZVM_SET_CU.
• ZVM_PATH replaces the default install location for ZVM. Set the environment variable to the parent directory of where you’ve placed the .zvm directory.
• ZVM_SKIP_TLS_VERIFY Do you have problems using TLS in your environment? Toggle off verifying TLS by setting this environment variable.
  • By default when this is enabled ZVM will print a warning. Set this variable to no-warn to silence this warning.
