Installation

Requiem is distributed as a Rust crate and can be installed using Cargo, Rust's package manager.

Prerequisites

You'll need Rust installed on your system. If you don't have it yet:

Visit rustup.rs or run:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

After installation, verify Rust is available:

rustc --version
cargo --version

Once Rust is installed, install Requiem using Cargo:

cargo install requirements-manager

This will download, compile, and install the req command-line tool.

To install the latest development version from the GitHub repository:

cargo install --git https://github.com/danieleades/requirements-manager

Confirm Requiem is installed correctly:

req --version

You should see output like:

req 0.1.0

To see all available commands:

req --help

For help with a specific command:

req add --help
req link --help

To update to the latest version:

cargo install requirements-manager --force

The --force flag tells Cargo to reinstall even if a version is already present.

To remove Requiem:

cargo uninstall requirements-manager

Now that Requiem is installed, proceed to the Quick Start Tutorial to learn the basic commands.
