Building from source

Latest Rust required

cargo-crev requires the latest stable version of Rust. If you have installed a Rust package from a slow-moving Linux distro, it's probably outdated and won't work. If you get compilation errors and warnings about unstable features, it means your Rust version is too old. Run:

rustup update
rustup default stable

If you don't have rustup, uninstall any Rust or Cargo package you may have, and install Rust via rustup.

OpenSSL dependency

Currently cargo-crev requires a non-Rust dependency to compile, as OpenSSL is required for TLS support.

Though OpenSSL is popular and readily available, it's virtually impossible to cover installing it on all the available operating systems. We list some examples below. They should have matching commands and similar package names in the Unix-like OS of your choice.

In case of problems, don't hesitate to ask for help.

Debian and Ubuntu

The following should work on Debian and Debian based distributions such as Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install openssl libssl-dev

Arch Linux

On Arch and Arch based distributions such as Manjaro make sure the latest OpenSSL is installed:

sudo pacman -Syu openssl

RedHat

On RedHat and its derivates Fedora and CentOS the following should work:

sudo yum install openssl openssl-devel

SuSE

On SuSE Linux the following should work:

sudo zypper install openssl libopenssl-devel

Compiling

To compile and install latest cargo-crev release use cargo:

cargo install cargo-crev

In case you'd like to try latest features from the main branch, try:

cargo install --git https://github.com/crev-dev/cargo-crev/ cargo-crev

Compiling from a local git checkout

cargo build --release -p cargo-crev

It will build target/release/cargo-crev executable.
