Installation
There are a few ways you can install Crunch, depending on your needs. Pre-compiled nightly builds are provided for Windows and Linux, but the tool can be compiled for other platforms using other install methods
Pre-built Binaries
Crunch is automatically built for Windows and Linux when changes are merged to the tracking branch, pass tests, and compiles successfully. These binaries contain the latest updates, and may differ slightly from these docs:
Via Cargo
To install via Cargo, you will need a stable rust toolchain installed. You can install one with Rustup. Installation using this method will install the latest stable published version, which will correlate with these docs.
cargo install crunch-cli
From Source
You can get a copy of the GPL-3.0 licensed Crunch source code from Microhacks Labs, and compile it yourself. As with the Cargo installation method, you will need a stable rust toolchain.
git clone https://lab.lcr.gr/microhacks/crunch.git crunch
cd crunch
cargo build --release
cp target/release/crunch /some/path/entry
