Installation

exa is written in Rust. 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, the Rust package manager. Once you have them both set up, a simple cargo build will pull in all the dependencies and compile exa.
