weight = 10

Garage is a standard Rust project.
First, you need `rust` and `cargo`.
For instance on Debian:
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y rustc cargo
```
You can also use [Rustup](https://rustup.rs/) to setup a Rust toolchain easily.
## Using source from `crates.io`
Garage's source code is published on `crates.io`, Rust's official package repository.
This means you can simply ask `cargo` to download and build this source code for you:
```bash
cargo install garage
```
That's all, `garage` should be in `$HOME/.cargo/bin`.
You can add this folder to your `$PATH` or copy the binary somewhere else on your system.
For instance:
```bash
sudo cp $HOME/.cargo/bin/garage /usr/local/bin/garage
```
## Using source from the Gitea repository
The primary location for Garage's source code is the
[Gitea repository](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage).
Clone the repository and build Garage with the following commands:
```bash
git clone https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage.git
cd garage
cargo build
```
Be careful, as this will make a debug build of Garage, which will be extremely slow!
To make a release build, invoke `cargo build --release` (this takes much longer).
The binaries built this way are found in `target/{debug,release}/garage`.
