### Via `cargo-binstall`
>[!NOTE]
> If the package cannot be found for your target or fails to be downloaded for any reason, `cargo-binstall` will automatically fall back to building the package from source.
`cargo-binstall` is a tool that allows you to install binaries from crates.io without needing to compile them yourself.
```
cargo binstall spotify-quickauth
```
If you're curious where the binary comes from, `cargo-binstall` will likely pull the binary directly from the [latest release][latestRelease] by this repository, selecting the most appropriate target for your host.
### Manual Installation
If you'd like to use the shell script above to install the binary, you can use the `-S/--stop` flag to prevent the script from running the binary after downloading it. It implicitly applies the `--keep` flag too.
You'll need to move the binary yourself though:
```bash
curl -sSL https://xevion.github.io/spotify-quickauth/run.sh | sh -s -- -S
mv spotify-quickauth /usr/local/bin
```
Then you can move it to whatever location you'd like. Make sure that directory is in your $PATH though!
