#Installation

In order to install Velociraptor, you'll need a recent version of Deno.

#Installing from 🦕 deno.land

$ deno install -qAn vr https://deno.land/x/velociraptor@1.5.0/cli.ts

#Installing from 🥚 nest.land

$ deno install -qAn vr https://x.nest.land/velociraptor@1.5.0/cli.ts

ℹ️ You might have to add the installation root to your path.

#Upgrading

To upgrade to the latest version run

$ vr upgrade

or, to install a specific version:

$ vr upgrade <version tag>

Requires vr >= 1.0.0

#Upgrading using `deno install`

If you're updating/overwriting an existing installation using deno install, add the -f flag.

#Usage without installing

To use Velociraptor without installing it run:

$ deno run -qA https://code.velociraptor.run <PARAMS>

ℹ️️ Some of vr's features won't work this way, see Known limitations.

#Permissions

Here's an overview of how vr uses permissions:

Permission	Description
`env`	Access the environment variables to control behaviors such as the log level or git hooks deactivation
`net`	Check for updates and retrieve version tags
`read`	Find script configuration files and git hooks
`run`	Run your scripts in separate processes
`write`	Write git hooks (future use: write log files on failures)

The recommended installation script includes the -A/--allow-all flag (which grants all permissions) to support future version installs with the upgrade command and in order to allow you to write arbitrary TypeScript configuration files (which inherit vr's permissions when imported).

⚠️ This means that your .ts config files are granted all permissions.
