## Install using cargo

Get cargo by installing a recent version of Rust. The tool [https://rustup.rs](rustup) is a good tool for installing Rust.

Run `cargo install rostrum --locked` to install the latest release for Bitcoin Cash or
`cargo install rostrum --features=nexa --locked` for Nexa. This will build and install
the latest version from [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/rostrum).

Rostrum uses RocksDB and the requires clang and cmake. See [build documentation](build.md) to see how to install these packages on your platform.
