Core Concepts

There are several concepts to be explained before we start using VMR.

Installation Mode

  • Global
  • Session-Only

When an SDK is installed in Global Mode, the envs are added to vmr.sh. Otherwise, not.

TUI

See wikipedia. You can open TUI using command below.

Terminal window
vmr

Reverse Proxy

For reverse proxy, we refers to https://proxy.vmr.us.kg/proxy/, which is used to speedup the downloads for SDKs.

Lock the SDK version for a project.

VMR will generate a file named “.vmr.lock” in the project. This file will be used for checking the SDK versions for current project by VMR. For details, see here.
