Qemu section Using cargo-generate

While creating project from template I get an error:

$ cargo install cargo-generate --git https://github.com/rust-embedded/cortex-m-quickstart

I think you're misunderstanding how cargo-generate works. First you install it with cargo install, then you use it with cargo generate. The book does these two steps, btw.

I tried it again and it worked. Not sure what was wrong. Eitherway, the first time I git cloned and replaced directly
