# Installation
## Using `cargo install`
> [!IMPORTANT]
> For this step ensure you have the [Rust toolchain](https://rustup.rs/) installed.
You can install the `ralix` CLI directly from the source if you have the
repository cloned.
```bash
cargo install --path .
```
Or if you don't even care about the repository (like I usually do)
you can quickly install `ralix` using:
```bash
cargo install ralix
```
After installation, you can run the `ralix` command from anywhere in your terminal:
```bash
ralix --version
```
## Running from source
If you have the source code, you can also run the CLI directly using `cargo run`:
```bash
cargo run -- --help
```
This will build and run the latest version of the code. All the arguments to
the `ralix` CLI should be passed after `--`.
