Cargo

Cargo is Rust’s superb package manager and can be used both for installing rust packages and managing a crate’s dependencies.

binstall

If you would rather not compile every package you install with cargo from source, you can utilize cargo-binstall.

Simply install it

cargo install cargo-binstall

Then replace cargo install with cargo binstall for every installation command.

Note that there has to be a binary package available.

update

Cargo doesn’t have a native update command. Normally you would simply perform another install command instead.

There is a package, though. Install it using binstall.

cargo binstall cargo-update

To now update all packages, simply do

cargo install-update -a
