A bit long but this will install DVM [1] and the latest compiler:

curl -L -o dvm 
https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dvm/releases/download/v0.4.4/dvm-0.4.4-osx 
&& chmod +x dvm && ./dvm install dvm && source ~/.dvm/scripts/dvm && dvm 
install -l

And on Windows (with Power Shell) :

powershell -Command "Invoke-WebRequest 
https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dvm/releases/download/v0.4.4/dvm-0.4.4-win.exe 
-OutFile dvm.exe" && dvm install dvm && dvm install -l

Links to other platforms are available here [1].
