Compiling and installing from source code - ouch-org/ouch GitHub Wiki

Note

If you just wish to install it the easiest way, follow instructions from https://github.com/ouch-org/ouch#installation instead.

Installing from source is always slower and only recommended for contributors.

Setup

For this you will need to install Rust and Cargo, we strongly recommend doing it via rustup.rs.

After that, check if it's correctly installed:

cargo --version

Also check if you have all the dependencies installed.

Installing from repository source

Clone the repository and install it.

git clone https://github.com/ouch-org/ouch
cargo install --path ouch

Installing from latest crates.io official release source

Latest release at https://crates.io/crates/ouch.

cargo install ouch

Building (without installing) from repository source

git clone https://github.com/ouch-org/ouch
cd ouch
cargo build
