First you'll need to install `cargo-binstall` either via `cargo install cargo-binstall` (and it'll have to compile, sorry...), or by grabbing a pre-compiled version from the [releases](https://github.com/ryankurte/cargo-binstall/releases) page and putting that somewhere on your path. It's like there's a problem we're trying to solve?
Once a project supports `binstall` you can then install binaries via `cargo binstall NAME` where `NAME` is the name of the crate. This will then fetch the metadata for the provided crate, lookup the associated binary file, and download this onto your system.
By default the latest version is installed, which can be overridden using the `--version` argument, and packages are installed to `$HOME/.cargo/bin` as is consistent with `cargo install`, which can be overridden via the `--install-path` argument. As always `--help` will show available options.

We hope the defaults will work without configuration in _some_ cases, however, different projects have wildly different CI and build output configurations. You will likely need to add some cargo metadata to support `binstall` in your project, see [Supporting Binary Installation](#Supporting-Binary-Installation) for details.
