Install Dependencies

lexbizz DevOps tool allows you to install all dependencies, however if you prefer to use scripts instead of the tool then have a look at Scripts for manually installing dependencies.


Package Manager

lexbizz DevOps tool uses a package manager to install and track all dependencies. The versions shown on the UI as well as shown by CLI are the versions from the package manager. They might differ from the actual dependency version.


Install Package Manager

If the package manager is not installed on your machine then the tool will provide you with an option for installation.

Package manager can also be installed manually. Have a look at Install choco for more information.

TIP
If lexbizz DevOps Tool is not able to install package manager, then use the script to install package manager. After installing package manager you will be able to use rest of the functionality.

Install Package

Once the package manager is installed, then all the depenencies will appear on the UI.

  • Min Required Version is the version of the package used by the package manager.

  • Installed Version is the actual version of the package installed using the package manager. If the package is installed manually (without default package manager) then the value in this column will be Not installed using package manager

  • If the same version is installed on your system then the package is marked with a ✔️ badge.

  • If the package is not installed on your machine then in Actions menu click on the Install or Update button to install the package. On click, the application will try to install or update the package.
