tbh I'm not sure whether we should "support" cargo install or this even, because we can not ship "dependencies" then, and rga is significantly less useful when you don't have pdftotext etc installed. For "advanced" users it's fine, but I don't really want more questions of the type "why does it not work for pdfs".

rg and afaik many other rust programs does not support cargo install as an official install method for the same reason.
