## What's a Battery Pack?
A battery pack bundles everything you need to get started in an area: curated crates, documentation, examples, and templates.
Think of it like an addition to the standard library targeting a particular use case, like building a CLI tool or web server.
## Installing the CLI
Install [`cargo-bp`](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-bp):
```bash
cargo install cargo-bp
# or
cargo binstall cargo-bp
```
## Using the CLI
```bash
# Create a new project from a battery pack template
cargo bp new cli
# Add a battery pack to an existing project
cargo bp add cli
# Show info about a battery pack
cargo bp show cli
```
## Authoring Battery Packs
The battery-pack crate is also a battery pack itself.
```bash
# Create a new project from a battery pack template
cargo bp new battery-pack
```
