cargo: Install a crate.
$ cargo install ${crate_name}
try on your machine
The command "cargo install ${crate_name}" is a command used in the Rust programming language, utilizing the Cargo package manager.
Here's the breakdown of the command:
- "cargo" refers to the Cargo tool itself, which is used for managing Rust projects and their dependencies.
- "install" is a subcommand of Cargo, used to install a specified crate or package.
- "${crate_name}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the crate or package you want to install. It is typically replaced with the name of the crate you want to install.
When you execute this command, Cargo will connect to the default package registry (usually crates.io) and download the specified crate. It will then compile the crate's source code and install it on your system, making it available for use in any Rust project you build.
For example, if you want to install the "serde" crate using this command, you would replace "${crate_name}" with "serde", resulting in the following command: "cargo install serde". This would install the serde crate and make its functionality available in your Rust projects.
