Installation

You can obtain Datui from pre-built releases or by comping from source.

Once installed, have a look at the Quick Start Guide.

Compiling from Source

Datui is built using Rust, leveraging its Cargo toolkit for compilation.

To compile a release-quality executable, clone the repository and use cargo to build:

git clone https://github.com/derekwisong/datui.git
cd datui
cargo build --release

If desired, before building you could check out a specific release tag

git tag --list
git checkout <tag from the list>
cargo build --release

The datui executable can be found in the target/release directory.

Run it directly, or copy the file to a location on your PATH environment variable to make it discoverable by your terminal.

Using cargo install

You may use cargo to install Datui locally into Cargo’s binary cache. (The ~/.cargo/bin directory on Linux).

cargo install --path .

To run the application you will need to add the Cargo bin directory to your PATH.

On Linux: export PATH=$PATH:~/.cargo/bin

Installing a Pre-built Release

To acquire a pre-built copy of Datui, you may download one from the Datui Releases Page on GitHub.
