Distant 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 distant
It will make the distant command available in your PATH if you've allowed the PATH to be modified when installing Rust. cargo uninstall distant uninstalls.
Adding distant library as a dependency
Run this command in a terminal, in your project's directory:
cargo add distant
To add it manually, edit your project's Cargo.toml file and add to the [dependencies] section:
distant = "0.20.0"
The distant library will be automatically available globally.
Read the distant library documentation.
