# dust Intuitive Disk Usage Analyzer CLI
A more intuitive version of the du command, written in Rust. dust instantly visualizes which directories consume the most disk space using colored proportional bars and smart recursive depth.
## Installation
Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Windows MSVC - requires: [VCRUNTIME140.dll](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170)
Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- 
- target/debug is the same size as target - so we know nearly all the disk usage of the 1.8G is in this folder
- target/debug/deps this is 1.2G - Note the bar jumps down to 70% to indicate that most disk usage is here but not all.
