Installation

Tungsten is designed to be flexible and can be installed through several popular package managers. Choose the method that best fits your existing workflow.

Note

The list may grow over time as Tungsten gets added to other package managers.

Mise (mise-en-place)

Mise is a polyglot tool manager that can handle Tungsten directly from GitHub.

To install and activate Tungsten in your current directory, run:

Terminal

mise use github:notmagniill/tungsten

Rokit and Aftman

Both Rokit and Aftman are toolchain managers widely used in the Roblox ecosystem.

They function similarly; simply run the command for the tool you have installed.

For Rokit

Terminal

rokit add notmagniill/tungsten

For Aftman

Terminal

aftman add notmagniill/tungsten

Tip

Which one should I use? These tools are alternatives to one another. You only need to run the command for the specific package manager you are currently using for your project.

Foreman

If you are using Foreman, you can add Tungsten to your foreman.toml file under the [tools] section:

foreman.toml

[tools]
tungsten = { github = "notmagniill/tungsten", version = "^0.1.0" }

After updating your configuration, run:

Terminal

foreman install

Cargo

Installing via Cargo requires the Rust toolchain. If you don’t have it, you can get it at rust-lang.org.

To install the Tungsten CLI globally:

Terminal

cargo install tungsten-cli

Important

The package is named tungsten-cli on crates.io because the name tungsten was already reserved for an outdated game framework. However, once installed, the command you use in your terminal is simply tungsten.

Verifying the installation

After running your chosen installation command, ensure that the Tungsten binary is correctly linked to your path by checking the help menu:

Terminal

tungsten --version

Tungsten should print something like this:

Terminal

tungsten v0.1.1
