Nice to have: Cargo support #11

Closed jjpe closed 6 years ago

jjpe commented 6 years ago

I've seen in the README that Cargo isn't needed to build. However, I'm finding that this increases the number of steps needed to install this project relative to having a Cargo.toml file:

With Cargo support, I could install ternimal with a one-liner: cargo install ternimal --git https://github.com/p-e-w/ternimal.git. This would download, build, and install ternimal in ~/.cargo/bin, which is in $PATH.

However, atm I have to manually clone, then run rustc, and then copy the output manually to somewhere in $PATH.

In short, having Cargo support would be a very nice to have.

I will not be adding Cargo support. This is an aesthetic choice as discussed before in #3.
