Solc Version Manager (SVM)#

Wake implements Solc Version Manager (SVM) to manage multiple installations of the solc compiler. Compiler executables for different versions are located in $XDG_DATA_HOME/wake/compilers. The default value of $XDG_DATA_HOME is:

$HOME/.local/share on Linux/MacOS,
%LOCALAPPDATA% on Windows.

The chosen version of solc is available under the wake-solc executable which acts as a wrapper for the solc executable.

Example

$ wake-solc --version
solc, the solidity compiler commandline interface
Version: 0.8.15+commit.e14f2714.Linux.g++

Info

solc binaries are downloaded from the Solidity repository which limits the minimum version of solc that can be installed.

Commands#

All the listed commands are available under the wake svm subcommand (e.g. wake svm list).

Command	Description	Options
`install`	Install the target version of solc. A version range may be provided which results into installation of the latest version matching the range (i.e. `wake svm install 0.7` installs the version `0.7.6`).	`--force` reinstall the version even if already installed. `--all` install all versions matching the target range.
`list`	List installed versions of solc.	`--all` list all available versions instead.
`remove`	Remove the target installed version of solc.	`--ignore-missing` do not raise an exception if the target version is not installed.
`switch`	Change the selected version of solc to the target version.
`use`	Change the selected version of solc to the target version and install it if not already installed. A version range may be provided resulting into installation of the latest version matching the range.	`--force` reinstall the version even if already installed.
