NAME

6       dub-fetch - Manually retrieves and caches a package
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dub fetch <package>[@<version-spec>] OPTIONS...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Note:  Use  "dub  add  <dependency>"  if you just want to use a certain
13       package as a dependency, you don't have to explicitly fetch packages.
14
15
16
17       Explicit retrieval/removal of packages is only needed when you want  to
18       put  packages  in a place where several applications can share them. If
19       you just have a dependency to add, use the `add` command. Dub  will  do
20       the rest for you.
21
22
23
24       Without  specified  options,  placement/removal  will default to a user
25       wide shared location.
26
27
28
29       Complete applications can be retrieved and run easily by e.g.
30
31       $ dub fetch vibelog --cache=local
32
33       $ dub run vibelog --cache=local
34
35
36
37       This will grab all needed dependencies and compile and run the applica‐
38       tion.
