Install

This repository just contains a little script that can be downloaded from the internet to install a Rust crate from a GitHub release. It determines the latest release, the current platform (without the need for rustc), and installs the extracted binary to the specified location.

Usage

To install a crate simply run the following

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://rossmacarthur.github.io/install/crate.sh \
    | bash -s -- --repo "<username>/<repository>" --to ~/.cargo/bin

Examples

cross

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://rossmacarthur.github.io/install/crate.sh \
    | bash -s -- --repo rust-embedded/cross --to /usr/local/bin
