DuckDB Version Manager

Installation

Note: Before proceeding with the installation, it's advisable to uninstall or remove any existing DuckDB CLI versions that you may have installed manually or via brew.

For macOS and Linux, run the following command in your terminal:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NiclasHaderer/duckdb-version-manager/main/install.sh)"

For Windows, run the following command in your powershell terminal:

Invoke-Expression (Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NiclasHaderer/duckdb-version-manager/main/install.ps1").Content

Usage

# Install a specific version of DuckDB (this does not set the version as default)
duckman install 0.10.2

# Set a version of DuckDB as default one to use -> now running duckdb will run this version
duckman default 0.10.2

# Run a version of DuckDB
duckman run nightly

# List available DuckDB versions
duckman list remote

Generally, installing a version before running it or setting it as default is not necessary. If you want to run a version that is not installed, duckman will automatically download and install it for you.
