SubOS - Environment Isolation Mode

xlings supports creating isolated workspaces through the subos command.

Global isolated environment

Create an isolated environment and install Node.js into it.

# 0. Create a subos environment
xlings subos new my-subos

# 1. List all subos environments
xlings subos list

# 2. Switch to my-subos
xlings subos use my-subos

# 3. Install node inside the isolated environment
#    (without affecting the system / host environment / other subos)
xlings install node@24 -y
node --version

# 4. Remove the isolated environment
xlings subos remove my-subos

Project isolated environment

xlings also supports project-scoped isolated environments through a .xlings.json file, and can install the configured project environment with one command. Below is a real configuration from the d2x project:

{
  "workspace": {
    "xmake": "3.0.7",
    "gcc": { "linux": "15.1.0" },
    "openssl": { "linux": "3.1.5" },
    "llvm": { "macos": "20" }
  }
}

Install and configure the project environment with one command:

Run the following command in the project directory:

Note: the SubOS mechanism uses a [ version view + reference counting ] strategy to avoid repeatedly downloading the same package payloads.
