Lib.rs

chokidar is both an executable binary that can be run, and a library that can be used in Rust programs.

Installing the command-line executable

Assuming you have Rust/Cargo installed, run this command in a terminal:

cargo install chokidar

It will make the chokidar command available in your PATH if you've allowed the PATH to be modified when installing Rust. cargo uninstall chokidar uninstalls.

Adding chokidar library as a dependency

Run this command in a terminal, in your project's directory:

cargo add chokidar

To add it manually, edit your project's Cargo.toml file and add to the [dependencies] section:

chokidar = "0.1.2"

The chokidar library will be automatically available globally. Read the chokidar library documentation.
