Action Summary
Cargo Binstall is a lightweight tool for installing precompiled Rust binaries as an alternative to building them from source with cargo install or manually downloading packages. It streamlines the installation process by leveraging existing CI artifacts and infrastructure, reducing effort for package maintainers and users. The tool automatically fetches crate information, locates compatible artifacts (including third-party sources), and falls back to building from source when necessary, making it an efficient solution for managing Rust binary installations.
