<p>You can install xplr using one of the following ways. Each has their own
advantages and limitations.</p>
<p>For example, the <a href="#direct-download">Direct Download</a>, <a href="#from-cratesio">From crates.io</a>, and
<a href="#build-from-source">Build From Source</a> methods allow the users to install the latest possible
version of xplr, but they have one common drawback - the user will need to keep
an eye on the releases, and manually upgrade xplr when a new version is
available.</p>
<p>One way to keep an eye on the releases is to <a href="https://github.com/sayanarijit/xplr/watchers">watch the repository</a>.</p>
