## How to use

## How to install
Installation instructions are provided for ArchLinux only. When using a different
operation system, adoption to their package manager is left as an exercise to the
reader.
### Install from AUR (recommended)
This example uses `yay`, but you can use your favourite AUR helper instead.
```bash
yay -S ellipse
```
### Install via cargo
First, install rust/cargo:
```bash
sudo pacman -S rust
```
Then, install with cargo:
```bash
cargo install ellipse-bin
```
This will only work if you have cargo's binary install directory added to your `$PATH`
variable.
