# `mise install [flags] [TOOL@VERSION]...`

**Aliases**: i

Install a tool version

Installs a tool version to `~/.local/share/mise/installs/<PLUGIN>/<VERSION>`
Installing alone will not activate the tools so they won't be in PATH.
To install and/or activate in one command, use `mise use` which will create a `.mise.toml` file
in the current directory to activate this tool when inside the directory.
Alternatively, run `mise exec <TOOL>@<VERSION> -- <COMMAND>` to execute a tool without creating config files.

Tools will be installed in parallel. To disable, set `--jobs=1` or `MISE_JOBS=1`
