Installation

There are several ways to install Catalyst on your system.

Using Cargo

The recommended way to install Catalyst is through Cargo, Rust's package manager. If you already have Rust installed, you can install Catalyst with:

cargo install catalyst

This will download, compile, and install the latest version of Catalyst from crates.io.

Building from Source

If you prefer to build Catalyst from source, or if you want to use the latest development version, you can clone the repository and build it yourself:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/caffeidine/catalyst.git
cd catalyst

# Build and install
cargo install --path .

Verifying Installation

To verify that Catalyst has been installed correctly, run:

catalyst --version

You should see output showing the version number of Catalyst.

Next Steps

Now that you have Catalyst installed, you can proceed to the Getting Started section to learn how to create and run your first API tests.
