I did it because not everybody has cargo installed. I'm using cargo-dist to create this npm package.

I've been wanting a generic package manager for a while that is cross-platform. I wonder how one could find funding for such a project. Thinking about users from various OS' installing tools and software from your niche package manager, yeah that bad boy is going to grind to a halt if you have no key funding.

Is there a way to install it with cargo instead? I won't install npm on my machine just to install a Rust package

consider wget or curl if possible (why not if npm was...)
