# Mix v1.10.3 mix local.hex View Source

Installs Hex locally.

    mix local.hex

## Command line options

- `--force` - forces installation without a shell prompt; primarily intended for automation in build systems like `make`

- `--if-missing` - performs installation only if Hex is not installed yet; intended to avoid repeatedly reinstalling Hex in automation when a script may be run multiple times

If both options are set, `--force` takes precedence.

## Mirrors

If you want to change the default mirror used for fetching Hex, set the `HEX_MIRROR` environment variable.
