zellij 0.40.1 source compile error on Debian WSL2 distro

[vurso]

Hi,

I downloaded the latest source code for zellij: source and after extracting it to a folder (and installing cargo) I ran the command cargo install --locked zellij wich resulted in the following error:

   Compiling zellij-utils v0.40.1
error[E0658]: `let...else` statements are unstable
    --> /home/trevor/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/zellij-utils-0.40.1/src/input/layout.rs:1258:17

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

cargo install --locked zellij will install Zellij from crates.io (the rust online repository). This is probably not working because you need a newer rust version (try rustup update).

If you'd like to install from source, please follow the instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md.
