[SOLVED] How to run a local cargo-tool?

Issue

Cargo tools like this https://github.com/bbqsrc/cargo-ndk can be installed. If I clone it, how can I run it? Can I also install it?

I tried

RUST_LOG=trace cargo run -- -t arm64-v8a --bindgen build

but I'm getting lots of errors

RUST_LOG=trace cargo run -- -t arm64-v8a --bindgen build

[2022-05-19T23:41:41Z INFO  cargo_ndk::cli]     rustup target install armv7-linux-androideabi

I think the subcommands work a little different when the tool is not installed

Solution

For installing when you're in the folder:

cargo install --path .
