# Installation

Getting ysv

`ysv` is written in Rust programming language and is installed by `cargo`:

```
cargo install ysv
```

## Do not have Cargo?

```bash
$ cargo --version
cargo 1.44.1 (88ba85757 2020-06-11)
```

If `cargo` is not there yet, refer to the package manager of your distribution. For example, on Ubuntu `cargo` can be installed trivially:

```
sudo apt-get install cargo
```

If your distribution does not provide it, please refer to <https://rustup.rs> for instructions.
