Installing Binaries with `cargo install`

Cargo can compile and install command-line tools for you. This is useful for shipping small utilities or installing tools from crates.io.

Installing a Published Binary

cargo install oxgrep

Cargo installs binaries into ~/.cargo/bin by default. Make sure that directory is on your PATH.

cargo install --path .

This is handy for testing your own tool before publishing it.

cargo uninstall oxgrep

You can list installed binaries with:

ls ~/.cargo/bin
