Mise

The repository uses mise to install and manage tools, like Ansible itself and the go-task/task program, which runs automations for the repository. See the mise getting started guide for platform-specific installation instructions.

You can install tools with mise in any path that has a .mise.toml file:

mise trust
mise install

Activating Mise

Mise needs to be 'activated' before you can use it. On Linux, that means adding this to your ~/.bashrc:

Mise ~/.bashrc activation

echo 'eval "$(~/.local/bin/mise activate bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc

On Windows, add this to your $PROFILE:

Mise Powershell activation

$shimPath = "$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\mise\shims"
$currentPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User')
$newPath = $currentPath + ";" + $shimPath
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', $newPath, 'User')

In Bash scripts/Docker, you need to run eval "$(~/.local/bin/mise activate bash)" once, early in the script, to activate Mise before running other commands. For example, in a Bash script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

if ! command -v mise &>/dev/null; then
  eval "$(~/.local/bin/mise activate bash)"
fi

## Add the latest Python, just for this script
mise use python@latest

## Show path to Python, should be a ~/.local/share/mise/ path
which python
python --version

Adding tools

Find the tool you want to install on the mise-tools site, i.e. python. Note the package name, i.e. core:python, and the Install with mise: example command.

Edit your .mise.toml and add the tool, either a pinned version (recommended) or the latest version with latest:

[tools]
python = "latest"  # or a specfic version, i.e. python = 3.14.2
