Dan is both an executable binary that can be run, and a library that can be used in Rust programs.

Installing the command-line executable

Assuming you have Rust/Cargo installed, run this command in a terminal:

cargo install dan

It will make the dan command available in your PATH if you've allowed the PATH to be modified when installing Rust. cargo uninstall dan uninstalls.

Adding `dan` library as a dependency

Run this command in a terminal, in your project's directory:

cargo add dan

To add it manually, edit your project's Cargo.toml file and add to the [dependencies] section:

dan = "0.1.1"

The dan library will be automatically available globally. Read the dan library documentation.
