+`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
