Run Command

If you want to run a version of Zig without setting it as your default, the run command is your friend.

Terminal window
zig version
# 0.13.0
zvm run 0.11.0 version
# 0.11.0
zig version
# 0.13.0

This can be helpful if you want to test your project on a newer version of Zig without having to switch between bins, or on alternative flavor of Zig.

Make sure you switch your VMU before using run.

Terminal window
zvm vmu zig mach
zvm run mach-latest version
# 0.14.0-dev.1911+3bf89f55c

If you would like to run the currently set Zig, please keep using the standard zig command.
