Webi is how developers install their tools.

## Updating `webi`
```sh
webi webi
```
Since `webi` is just a small helper script, it always updates on each use.
### Files
These are the files / directories that are created and/or modified with this
install:
```text
~/.config/envman/PATH.env
# Mac, Linux
~/.local/bin/webi
# Windows
~/.local/bin/webi.bat
~/.local/bin/webi-pwsh.ps1
```
## Cheat Sheet
> `webi` is what you would have created if you automated how you install your
> common tools yourself: Simple, direct downloads from official sources,
> unpacked into `~/.local`, added to `PATH`, symlinked for easy version
> switching, with minimal niceties like resuming downloads and 'stable' tags.
- Easy to remember.
- No magic, no nonesense, no bulk.
- What you would have done for yourself.
You can install _exactly_ what you need, from memory, via URL:
```sh
curl https://webi.sh/node@lts | sh
```
Or via `webi`, the tiny `curl | sh` shortcut command that comes with each
install:
```sh
webi node@lts golang@stable flutter@beta rustlang
```
### webi PATHs
You can see exactly what PATHs have been edited with [`pathman`](../pathman/):
```sh
webi pathman
pathman list
```
And where:
```sh
cat ~/.config/envman/PATH.env
```
### How to uninstall Webi
These are the files that are installed when you use [webinstall.dev](/):
```sh
# Mac, Linux
~/.local/bin/webi
# Windows
~/.local/bin/webi.bat
~/.local/bin/webi-pwsh.ps1
```
You can safely remove all of them. If you use [webinstall.dev](/) again in the
future they will be reinstalled.
Additionally, these files may be modified to update your `PATH`:
```sh
~/.bashrc
~/.profile
~/.config/fish/config.fish
~/.config/envman/PATH.env
```
It's probably best to leave them alone.
### How to uninstall Webi-installed programs
Except where noted otherwise (such as `wsl`) Webi installs everything into
`~/.local/bin` and `~/.local/opt`.
Some programs also use `~/.local/share` or `~/.config` - such as `postgres` and
`fish` - and some use program-specific directories - such as Go, which uses
`~/go/bin`.
If you want to remove any of them, simply deleting them should do well enough -
just check the Cheat Sheet for any special notes.
Here are some examples:
```sh
# Remove jq
rm -rf ~/.local/bin/jq
rm -rf ~/.local/jq-*/
# Remove node.js
rm -rf ~/.local/opt/node/
rm -rf ~/.local/opt/node-*/
```
