Lib.rs

cargo-binstall is both an executable binary that can be run, and a library that can be used in Rust programs.

Installing the command-line executable

Assuming you have Rust/Cargo installed, run this command in a terminal:

cargo install cargo-binstall

It will make the cargo-binstall command available in your PATH if you've allowed the PATH to be modified when installing Rust. cargo uninstall cargo-binstall uninstalls.

Adding cargo_binstall library as a dependency

Run this command in a terminal, in your project's directory:

cargo add cargo-binstall

To add it manually, edit your project's Cargo.toml file and add to the [dependencies] section:

cargo-binstall = "1.17.5"

The cargo_binstall library will be automatically available globally. Read the cargo_binstall library documentation.
