Installation Instructions From Main Branch? #13

Closed riotrah closed 1 year ago

riotrah commented 2 years ago

Hi!

Firstly, thanks for this work.

Pardon my inexperience with Rust tooling. It appears that tho there have been ostensibly relevant commits, those changes have not been released or tagged.

What's the recommended way to install the latest state of this repo? Or do you think it's fine to install the last release from 2017?

Thanks again

I noticed the same thing. I'm not sure if the changes have been meaningful but the release is over 4 years old at this point. Building from source was painless though. I just installed Rust (in Windows) and run cargo build --release and then moved the resulting binary in target/release to my desired destination. Hopefully this helps.

The changes after the last tag were not meaningful. They fixed some issues with continuous integration and cleaned up some unused imports.

For installing from source you can either move the binary (after cargo build) - or maybe do a cargo install --path . but I dont know where that will install the binary in windows.
