Are you seeing any errors when you run `pulumi version` ?

Ok so I relogged in to the box and am fine now. Thank you!

But may I ask how to invoke the script to install into a specific directory please

You can’t using the script, but you can download the executables yourself and place them wherever you want <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/get-started/install/#manual-installation>

The script itself “just” downloads the executable and updates your PATH

Ok - so it does the same thing as an extraction to a specific path? But I will need to know the version number all the time right?

BTW what language is Pulumi written in? And on the examples i do not see many examples in Go. Is Python the predominant language?

You can use `curl --fail --silent -L "<https://www.pulumi.com/latest-version>"`to get the latest version number, which is exactly what the script does

in fact, that line comes out of the script :sweat_smile:

Well I can understand that comes from script but I was wondering if there could be a 'beta script' as well so would not have to know the version. That way I can run the script and then move .pulumi to whatever directory I want and then update my PATH - right?

That will always give me latest-stable or latest-beta

you always do that

I’m not sure if there’s a beta script, because you can always build your own executables from source

I understand - but you could easily provide a 'beta' script. You could for example update the script to pass a param 'stable' or 'beta' and also a PATH. If none are provided it goes for stable and $HOME. It would be a simple change on your end and each of us do not have to parameterize individually

It’s not my script :wink: I don’t work for Pulumi… I just really love their technology and I’m passionate about helping others :slightly_smiling_face:

Ok thanks for clarification! Much appreciated your help! If you know who could send this to would be great! Have a good evening

:slightly_smiling_face:Thank you <@UJNMD7BB9>!
