Enum InstallMethod 

pub enum InstallMethod {
    Release,
    Cargo,
    Binstall {
        crate_name: String,
        source: BinstallSource,
    },
    PackageManager,
    Store(StoreKind),
    Velopack,
}

How the running executable came to be where it is, which decides whether update may replace it.

Variants

Release

Downloaded from a release and placed by hand: update replaces it.

Cargo

cargo install, under $CARGO_HOME/bin: cargo’s records would no longer match a replaced file, so update says to run cargo install instead.

Binstall

cargo binstall, under $CARGO_HOME/bin and recorded in $CARGO_HOME/binstall/crates-v1.json: update says to run cargo binstall again.

Fields

crate_name: String

The crate it was installed from.

source: BinstallSource

Where that crate came from.

PackageManager

A system or package-manager location (/usr/bin, the Nix store, Homebrew): the package manager updates it.

Store(StoreKind)

A store’s own package (Flatpak, Snap, MSIX, Mac App Store): the store updates it, and replacing a file inside it would fail or be undone.

Velopack

A Velopack package (an installed Windows app, a macOS bundle, an AppImage): the app updates itself from its own settings, not by replacing the file.
