Setup Methods
HVE Core supports multiple setup methods. Choose the approach that fits your environment and workflow. If you want the fastest zero-config path, start with the VS Code extension; if you want MCP setup or bundle selection, use the installer skill from the HVE Installer extension.
Available Methods
| Method | Best For | Complexity |
|---|---|---|
| VS Code Extension | Quick start, individual developers | Low |
| Multi-Root Workspace | Teams with shared configuration | Medium |
| Git Submodule | Pinned versions, CI integration | Medium |
| Peer Clone | Side-by-side development and contribution | Medium |
| Mounted Workspace | Container and remote environments | Medium |
| Git-Ignored Clone | Local-only customization | Low |
| Codespaces | Cloud-based development | Low |
| CLI Plugins | Terminal-first workflows | Medium |
Which Method Should You Choose?
Start with the VS Code Extension if you want the fastest path. Move to Multi-Root Workspace or Git Submodule when your team needs shared, version-controlled configuration.
