Installation
------------

exa is written in [Rust](http://www.rust-lang.org). It compiles with Rust 0.11, the latest version - 0.10 will not do, as there have been too many breaking changes since. You will also need [Cargo](http://crates.io), the Rust package manager. Once you have them both set up, a simple `cargo build` will pull in all the dependencies and compile exa.

Add grid view by default This makes it more like ls. The --long (-l) argument has been added to get at the old behaviour, and the --links argument is now on -H. I can't crib this behaviour from ls because it shows it by default. TODO: The terminal size is currently assumed to be 80, and it uses the string length, rather than the width. 2014-07-06 16:33:40 +00:00			`- -H, --links: show number of hard links column`
