Installation
Prerequisites
- Go 1.25.2+ — Required to build from source
- Git — datamitsu uses your git root to locate configuration files and manage project-scoped caches
- Platform support: Linux (amd64, arm64), macOS (amd64, arm64). Windows support is available but requires Developer Mode for symlinks.
Build from Source
Clone the repository and build:
git clone https://github.com/datamitsu/datamitsu.git
cd datamitsu
go build
This produces a datamitsu binary in the current directory. Move it to a directory in your PATH:
mv datamitsu /usr/local/bin/
Using pnpm
If you have pnpm installed, you can also build via:
pnpm build
Verify Installation
Check that datamitsu is available:
datamitsu --help
You should see the available commands listed, including exec, init, check, setup, and others.
Global Cache Directory
datamitsu stores data under ~/.cache/datamitsu/ (or $XDG_CACHE_HOME/datamitsu/), split into two subdirectories:
store/— Downloaded binaries (.bin/), runtime binaries (.runtimes/), runtime-managed app environments (.apps/), remote configs (.remote-configs/)cache/— Per-project tool caches (projects/), verify state (.verify-state/)
You can view the cache path with:
datamitsu cache path
