# `mise install`

- **Usage**: `mise install [FLAGS] [TOOL@VERSION]…`
- **Aliases**: `i`
- **Source code**: [`src/cli/install.rs`](https://github.com/jdx/mise/blob/main/src/cli/install.rs)

Install a tool version

Installs a tool version to `~/.local/share/mise/installs/<PLUGIN>/<VERSION>`
Installing alone will not activate the tools so they won't be in PATH.
To install and/or activate in one command, use `mise use` which will create a `mise.toml` file
in the current directory to activate this tool when inside the directory.
Alternatively, run `mise exec <TOOL>@<VERSION> -- <COMMAND>` to execute a tool without creating config files.

Tools will be installed in parallel. To disable, set `--jobs=1` or `MISE_JOBS=1`
