# Install mim on an SSH server
`mim` is installed by copying one named local build profile to a server-side `bin/mim` path. There is no package manager integration, runtime config, plugin installer, or hidden bootstrap step.
From a clean checkout on the target server:
```sh
zig build install-code --prefix "$HOME/.local"
"$HOME/.local/bin/mim" --version
```
Choose the smallest profile that matches the server job:
- `zig build install-min --prefix "$HOME/.local"` installs `mim-min` as `$HOME/.local/bin/mim`.
- `zig build install-code --prefix "$HOME/.local"` installs `mim-code` as `$HOME/.local/bin/mim`.
- `zig build install-full --prefix "$HOME/.local"` installs `mim-full` as `$HOME/.local/bin/mim`.
For CI or agent verification without relying on the shell to execute the copied path directly, use the matching verification step:
```sh
zig build verify-install-code --prefix /tmp/mim-install
```
That step installs the selected binary to `/tmp/mim-install/bin/mim` and runs the installed artifact with `--version`.
