How to install the is-admin crate // Lib.rs

is-admin 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 is-admin

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

Adding `is_admin` library as a dependency

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

cargo add is-admin

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

is-admin = "0.1.4"

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