Hi everyone.

Can I run Mojo on my computer directly, like Node.js or Go, without installing modules into any folder? I want to install Mojo globally on my computer, but I think the Mojo CLI isn’t working, and the documentation shows me installing modules directly into a folder and then running Mojo.

For example;  
I can run `go init` and compile `main.go` with `go build`. However, since I can’t do a global installation in Mojo, I have to add `modular` with Pixi in every folder. Is there no way to globalize this? It would also save memory in multi-project setups.

You can do that with [pixi](https://pixi.sh/latest/#installation)

- Install nightly `mojo`

```auto
pixi global install mojo -c conda-forge -c https://conda.modular.com/max-nightly

```

- Install latest stable `mojo` (or add version `mojo==25.5.0`)

```auto
pixi global install mojo -c conda-forge -c https://conda.modular.com/max

```

There are a couple of ways to install `mojo` globally. One is via Pixi global installation:

```bash
pixi global install -c https://conda.modular.com/max-nightly/ mojo-compiler

```

The other uses the new Python wheels:

```bash
uv tool install mojo-compiler --force --index-url https://dl.modular.com/public/nightly/python/simple/

```

I believe in both cases, you’ll end up with a `mojo` command that you can use system-wide.

However, there still can be advantages in maintaining local project environments to lock specific Mojo versions, dependencies, etc. Also, when it comes to disk space usage, I know Pixi does what it can to cache downloaded packages and hard-link reused binaries.

(Edit: ha, looks like Ehsan and I collided on this.)
