# Installation

## Via cargo-binstall (all platforms)

If you have [`cargo-binstall`](https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall) installed, you can skip compilation entirely:

```sh
cargo binstall ringdrop
```

> **Note:** pre-built binary downloads are supported from **v0.11.0** onwards.
> Installing an older version falls back to compiling from source automatically.

---

## Fedora 42+

### Via DNF COPR (recommended)

```sh
dnf copr enable rikettsie/ringdrop
dnf install ringdrop
```

To upgrade later:

```sh
dnf upgrade ringdrop
```

---

## Linux (all distributions)

### Via Cargo

Requires Rust. If you don't have it yet:

```sh
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
```

Then install `rdrop`:

```sh
cargo install ringdrop
```

After installation, make sure `~/.cargo/bin` is in your `PATH`:

```sh
export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"
```

Add that line to `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, or equivalent to make it permanent.

---

## macOS

### Via install script (recommended)

Handles both first-time install and upgrades:

```sh
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rikettsie/ringdrop/main/install/install.sh | sh

Requires [Homebrew](https://brew.sh). If you don't have it:

```sh
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
```
