Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I installed imgr using Cargo, but I can't find the binary. Where is it?

A: By default, Cargo installs binaries in the .cargo directory. To make imgr easily accessible, consider adding the Cargo bin directory to your system's PATH. You can find the location of the Cargo bin directory by running cargo install --help and looking for the "bin" section.

Q: How can I add the Cargo bin directory to my system's PATH?

A: On Unix-based systems (Linux, macOS), you can add the following line to your shell profile file (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc):

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.cargo/bin"

On Windows, you can add the Cargo bin directory to the system environment variables.

After making these changes, restart your terminal, and you should be able to run imgr from anywhere in the command line.
