Install

To install mdbook-files, you have two options. The easiest installation path is to download a prebuilt binary from the GitHub releases. If you have Cargo installed, you can also build it from source.

Prebuilt

You can go to the Releases page and download whichever prebuilt binary is appropriate for the operating system that you are using.

For example, to install it in Linux, you can do like this. You will need to set the MDBOOK_FILES_VERSION to the latest version (or whichever version you want to install).

export MDBOOK_FILES_VERSION=0.1.0
curl -sSL "https://github.com/xfbs/mdbook-files/releases/download/v$MDBOOK_FILES_VERSION/mdbook-files-v$MDBOOK_FILES_VERSION-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz" | sudo tar -C /usr/local/bin -xzv

From Source

Another approach is to install mdbook-files from source. This approach works on operating systems for which no builds exist. To do so, you need to have Cargo¹ installed.

cargo install mdbook-files --version 0.1.0

Verify

Once you have installed it, you should be able to verify that you have installed it correctly by running this command:

mdbook-files --version

Which should respond with whichever version you have installed.
