@ -63,3 +63,18 @@ Once you have it set up, a simple `make install` will compile exa and install it
exa depends on [libgit2](https://github.com/alexcrichton/git2-rs) for certain features.
If youre unable to compile libgit2, you can opt out of Git support by running `cargo build --release --no-default-features`.
### Cargo Install
If you're using a recent version of Cargo (0.5.0 or higher), you can
use the `cargo install` command:
cargo install --git https://github.com/ogham/exa
or:
cargo install --no-default-features --git https://github.com/ogham/exa
Cargo will clone the repository to a temporary directory, build it
there and place the `exa` binary to: `$HOME/.cargo` (and can be
overridden by setting the `--root` option).
