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

exa is written in [Rust](http://www.rust-lang.org). You'll have to use the nightly -- I try to keep it up to date with the latest version when possible. 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.
