from the unpacked archive. In summary: there is a `spring` script
(`spring.bat` for Windows) in a `bin/` directory in the `.zip` file,
or alternatively you can use `java -jar` with the `.jar` file (the
script helps you to be sure that the classpath is set correctly).
### Installation with GVM
GVM (the Groovy Environment Manager) can be used for managing multiple
versions of verious Groovy and Java binary packages, including Groovy
itself and the Spring Boot CLI. Get `gvm` from
[the gvm home page](http://gvmtool.net) and install Spring Boot with
$ gvm install springboot
$ spring --version
Spring Boot v0.5.0.M4
> **Note:** If you are developing features for the CLI and want easy access to the version you just built, follow these extra instructions.
$ gvm install springboot dev /path/to/spring-boot/spring-boot-cli/target/spring-boot-cli-0.5.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT-bin/spring-0.5.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/
$ gvm use springboot dev
$ spring --version
Spring CLI v0.5.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
This will install a local instance of `spring` called the `dev` instance inside your gvm repository. It points at your target build location, so every time you rebuild Spring Boot, `spring` will be up-to-date.
