Building from source

You need to have Rust installed on your system. You can do so from the official link.

To build it, run

$ cargo build

or run it directly using

$ cargo run <path/to/file>

where <path/to/file> is the path to the file you want to edit. You can leave it blank if you want to create and edit a new file (filename will be asked on save).
