# axx install

> Download the axx version this project runs on, or the one you name, for later runs

Source: https://axx.nimbusxr.us/references/cli/axx-install/

Download a release of Axx next to the others Axx keeps, checked against the
release's checksums, so that a project on that version finds it: the one this
project's axx.yaml names, or the version you give.

A project does this by itself on its first command. This is for a machine with
AXX_AUTO_DOWNLOAD=0, or for preparing an image or a machine that will be offline.
It does not change which Axx is installed: that is `axx upgrade`.
