Auto-installing dependencies when missing is a feature that will be added in the future.

• You need to install rclone following the instructions on their website.
• On Windows, you need to have WinFsp.
• On Unix systems (Linux and macOS), you need some variation of fusermount3 installed.

Building from source

In order to build DriveFUSE from source, you need to have the Rust programming language installed on your system. Use this command to install Rust:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/aymanfarsi/DriveFUSE.git

2. Change into the project directory and rename it to avoid issues with building the executable:

mv DriveFUSE drive_fuse
cd drive_fuse

3. Build the project:

cargo build --release

4. The binary will be located in the target/release directory. You can run it using:

./target/release/drive_fuse

5. You can also install the binary to your system using:

cargo install --path .

6. Otherwise, run the install script:

./install-drive-fuse # Unix systems
sh install-drive-fuse # Windows

7. You can now run the binary using drive_fuse or search for it in your system's application menu.
