devvm tools add

Add shared tools to this folder’s VM, then open a shell in it

Synopsis

Add shared tools to this folder’s VM, then open a shell in it. TOOL is node, python, rust, go, claude, codex or opencode, each a separate word. devvm builds any of them that aren’t built, and for a new agent in a running VM it asks before restarting the VM.

devvm tools add TOOL... [flags]

Examples

  devvm tools add claude        # add Claude Code to the VM
  devvm tools add python codex  # add python and Codex

Options

  -h, --help     help for add
      --here     use this folder's own VM, never that of a folder it's inside
      --parent   use the VM of the nearest folder this one is inside, even across a git repo of its own

Options inherited from parent commands

      --no-input   never ask, and fail where devvm would ask, naming the flag that answers it
  -v, --verbose    show the output of the commands devvm runs instead of a status line
