# Provision Rust CLI toolchains from prebuilt binaries in fresh environments before repeated source builds slow agent runs with cargo-binstall

Bootstrap Rust-based command-line tools in CI, containers, and ephemeral workspaces by preferring published binaries over repeated source builds.

## Prerequisites

Rust and cargo-binstall, plus network access to published release binaries for target Rust CLIs

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- $ cargo binstall radio-sx128x@0.14.1-alpha.5
- To upgrade cargo-binstall, use cargo binstall cargo-binstall!
- brew install cargo-binstall
- cargo install cargo-binstall --locked

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- console
- INFO resolve: Resolving package: 'radio-sx128x@=0.14.1-alpha.5'
- WARN The package radio-sx128x v0.14.1-alpha.5 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) has been downloaded from github.com
