Armory Version Manager is a tool that makes it easy to install and switch between different versions of the Armory CLI, the command-line tool you use to interact with Armory's continuous deployment platform. Instead of manually downloading files and managing versions yourself, this utility handles the installation process for you. Think of it like a version manager for Node.js or Python, tools that let developers quickly install, update, or switch between different versions of a runtime or tool. In this case, it's specifically designed for the Armory CLI, so it knows exactly where to get the right version for your computer (whether you're on Mac, Linux, Windows, and whether you have an Intel or ARM processor) and sets it up properly. To get started, you download the version manager itself from the releases page, mark it as executable, and add it to your system path. Once installed, you can use simple commands to manage your Armory CLI versions, install new ones, switch between them, or update to the latest. The README points to the generated documentation for the full list of commands available. This is most useful for teams or developers who work frequently with Armory's deployment tools and need to stay on top of updates, or who need to test against multiple CLI versions. It saves the tedious work of hunting down the right download link, unzipping files, and figuring out where to put them on your system.
