`volta setup`

The volta setup command will enable Volta by modifying the PATH for the current user (in a platform-dependent way) to include the Volta shim directory.

Unix

On Unix, volta setup will search for profile scripts using the following list:

~/.profile
~/.bash_profile
~/.bashrc
~/.zshrc
~/.config/fish/config.fish
The value of the PROFILE environment variable

For each of these files that exist, volta setup will modify it to include lines that define VOLTA_HOME and add $VOLTA_HOME/bin to the PATH environment variable. If the configuration file for your current shell (detected using the $SHELL environment variable) doesn’t exist, it will be created with the appropriate contents, if possible.

Windows

On Windows, volta setup will modify the User Path environment variable to include the shim directory (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Volta\bin).
