It’s missing 19 [https://bintray.com/elmlang/](https://bintray.com/elmlang/)

Would be great to get version managers like [https://github.com/vic/asdf-elm](https://github.com/vic/asdf-elm) working with 19!

Is there an alternative to bintray people are using these days?  
Is there a common solution to having specifically 18 and 19 installed on the same box and easily being able to switch between them?

There aren’t any plans to update the bintray right now. We’ve switched to Github releases. You can find the binaries at [https://github.com/elm/compiler/releases](https://github.com/elm/compiler/releases)!

I don’t know about a _common_ solution, but I just use the `npm` packages for everything. As in, `npm install elm@version` and then run it with `npx elm` (or in 0.18, `npx elm-make` and friends.)

I do this because it makes it easy to use it in a Makefile, like so:

```auto
node_modules: package.json package-lock.json
    npm install
    touch -m node_modules

public/index.js: src/Main.elm node_modules
    npx elm make --output public/index.js src/Main.elm

```
