README
A command-line interface to interact with crates.io
Features
- search crates.io interactively and open in browser

Installation
If you have Rust on your system:
cargo install crates-io-cli
If you are on NetBSD, a native package is available. To install it, simply run:
pkgin install crates-io-cli
... and if you have to install from scratch, the following will install Rust and the CLI at once:
{ command -v rustup 2>&1 >/dev/null || curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh } && cargo install crates-io-cli
To install Rust on windows, you can follow the instrutions on rustup.rs.
