This package is likely a meta/virtual (*) or an installer (*.install) or portable (*.portable) application package.
- Meta/virtual (*) - has a dependency on the *.install or the *.portable package - it is provided for discoverability and for other packages to take a dependency on.
- Portable (*.portable/*.commandline (deprecated naming convention)/*.tool (deprecated naming convention)) - usually zips or archives that require no administrative access to install.
- Install (*.install/*.app (deprecated naming convention)) - uses native installers, usually requires administrative access to install.

This version is in moderation and has not yet been approved. This means it doesn't show up under normal search.
- Until approved, you should consider this package version unsafe - it could do very bad things to your system (it probably doesn't but you have been warned, that's why we have moderation).
- This package version can change wildly over the course of moderation until it is approved. If you install it and it later has changes to this version, you will be out of sync with any changes that have been made to the package. Until approved, you should consider that this package version doesn't even exist.
- You cannot install this package under normal scenarios. See How to install package version under moderation for more information.
- There are also no guarantees that it will be approved.
There are versions of this package awaiting moderation (possibly just this one). See the Version History section below.
If you switch between development projects which expect different environments, specifically different runtime versions or ambient libraries,
or you are tired of all kinds of cumbersome environment configurations, vfox
is the ideal choice for you.
Introduction
vfox
is a cross-platform version manager(similar to nvm
, fvm
, sdkman
, asdf-vm
, etc.), extendable via plugins. It allows you to quickly install
and switch between different environment you need via the command line.
Why use vfox?
- cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, macOS)
- consistent commands to manage all your languages
- supports different versions for different projects, different shells, and globally.
- simple plugin system to add support for your runtime of choice
- automatically switches runtime versions as you traverse your project
- support for existing config files
.node-version
,.nvmrc
,.sdkmanrc
for easy migration - shell completion available for common shells (Bash, ZSH, Powershell, Clink)
- it's faster than
asdf-vm
, and offers more simple commands and genuine cross-platform unification.
see Comparison with asdf
Demo

# For Clink:
# 1. Install clink: https://github.com/chrisant996/clink/releases
# Or Install cmder: https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/releases
# 2. Find script path: clink info | findstr scripts
# 3. copy internal/shell/clink_vfox.lua to script path
> Remember to restart your shell to apply the changes.
3. Add an SDK plugin
$ vfox add nodejs
4. Install a runtime
$ vfox install [email protected]

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 12 Apr 2025 18:50:12 +00:00:
vfox.install has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.
Guidelines
Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.
Notes
Notes typically flag things for both you and the reviewer to go over. Sometimes this is the use of things that may or may not be necessary given the constraints of what you are trying to do and/or are harder for automation to flag for other reasons. Items found in Notes might be Requirements depending on the context. A package version can be approved without addressing Note comments.
chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 12 Apr 2025 21:35:34 +00:00:
vfox.install has passed automated package testing (verification). The next step in the process is package scanning.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/choco-bot/7141b5ce667135ff48f299d1560da3cb for details.
This is an FYI only. There is no action you need to take.
