 > This is a [Lone Outpost Tech Open Source](https://github.com/lone-outpost-oss) project.

## Installation

Cargo install can be used if you already have the Rust language toolchain installed:

```shell
cargo install multimoon
```

Or download the executable file of your platform on the [release page][github-repo-releases]. 

You may need to make it executable and copy to proper path in your user or system path. An example for most Linux distros:

```shell
tar -Jxvf multimoon-0.1.0-amd64-linux.tar.xz
chmod +x multimoon-0.1.0-x64-linux/multimoon
sudo cp multimoon-0.1.0-x64-linux/multimoon /usr/local/bin/multimoon    # need root privileges
```

## Usage

Get the help:

```shell
multimoon
```

Update to the latest MoonBit toolchain:

```shell
multimoon update
```

Revert to an old version of toolchain:

```shell
multimoon toolchain update 0.1.20240513
```

Use, backup and restore the core library: (basically used in core development)

```shell
multimoon core backup my-core-dev-1
multimoon core restore my-core-dev-1
```
