## Why

Rust already has an amazing package manager: cargo. However, cargo is mostly a dependency manager for Rust projects. It is not primarily a binary package manager. Even though you can install binary crates with cargo, updating and maintaining them properly requires third-party solutions such as the cargo-update plugin.

This project aims to provide a simple, easy to use, and reliable binary package manager for Rust.
