Cargo

Install#

From the crate’s directory:

cargo install --path .

This builds in release mode and drops the binary into ~/.cargo/bin/ (make sure that’s on your PATH).

Useful flags:

• --force — reinstall over an existing version
• --locked — respect Cargo.lock exactly
• --debug — skip release optimizations for faster install
• --bin <name> — pick a specific binary if the crate has several
• --root <dir> — install somewhere other than ~/.cargo

To uninstall: cargo uninstall <crate-name> (the name from Cargo.toml, not the path).
