## Installation
Check out the [Release page](https://github.com/sharkdp/bat/releases) for binary builds and Debian packages.
### From source
If you want to build to compile `bat` from source, you need Rust 1.22 or higher.
Make sure that you have the devel-version of libopenssl installed (see instructions
[here](https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl)). You can then use `cargo` to build everything:
``` bash
cargo install bat
```
