Guide

🗄️

Zero Infrastructure

Your OCI registry is the package server. No taps, no Artifactory.

🖥️

Cross-Platform

One identifier. Auto-detects OS and arch via OCI manifests.

🔒

Reproducible

Content-addressed storage. Same index, same binaries — online or offline.

⚙️

Built for Automation

JSON output, clean environments, composable commands. CI-first.

Early Development

OCX is in early development. The CLI is functional but APIs may change.

Quick Start

Install ocx with a single command:

ShellPowerShell

curl -fsSL https://ocx.sh/install.sh | sh

ps1

irm https://ocx.sh/install.ps1 | iex

Sync the package index and run your first package:

ocx index update nodejs bun uv corretto
ocx exec uv:0.10 -- uv --version

Install, pin, and switch between versions:

ocx install --select corretto:21       # install and activate
ocx exec corretto:21 -- java -version  # run with clean environment
ocx install --select corretto:25       # upgrade in one command

Compose multiple tools with isolated environments:

ocx exec nodejs:24 bun:1 -- bun --version

That's it. No formulas, no plugins, no runtime dependencies. Get started →
