System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

The CRITICAL distinction between system packages (apt/brew/dnf — libssl, libpq, build-essential) and dev tools (mise — node, python, cmake, ripgrep). The #1 mistake new mise users make is trying to install system libraries with mise. Use whenever a user asks "can I install X with mise" for something that looks like a system library, or hits "tool failed to compile".

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clear rule: mise installs dev tools; system libraries must be installed with the OS package manager.
  • Guidance for ambiguous requests: provide decision criteria when users ask to install a library that could be a system dependency.
  • Platform-aware guidance: applicable across Linux, macOS, and container environments to avoid unsafe or failed builds.

Quick Start

Ask mise to distinguish between dev tools and system libraries before installation.
