At the moment building from source is the only option to install the tool. This requires users to install the Rust programming language onto their system.
You can install rust via
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh (for macOS and Linux or other Unix-based OS). For Windows please follow the instructions on the following site: https://forge.rust-lang.org/infra/other-installation-methods.html .
After cloning the repository via git@github.com:aljpetri/cONcat.git use the following two commands to compile the code:
cd cONcat/CodeAlex
cargo build --release ( Compile the current package, the executable is then located in target/release)
