  • installing from package managers or direct binary download typically should not require a rust toolchain
  • it's easier to have explicit commands, that can help less experienced users and save some context for agents

I'd recommend merge this after the rust binary releases are up on github

P2 Badge Use a valid nix-shell package expression

The nix-shell -p nixpkgs.cabin example is not a valid -p package selector for typical Nix setups: nix-shell --packages/-p expects attribute names (or full expressions), so this form attempts to resolve an attribute path that is usually undefined and fails before launching the shell. Users following the Linux install instructions on Nix/NixOS will hit an immediate command error instead of getting a working Cabin environment.

P1 Badge Install the Cabin CLI package in Nix example

The nix profile install nixpkgs#cabin command targets the wrong nixpkgs package name: in nixpkgs, cabin is the font package, while the Cabin CLI is packaged as cabinpkg (with mainProgram = "cabin"). As written, this instruction installs a font package and leaves users without the cabin executable.
