Are there binaries for ivm? If ivm is intended to make it easier to manage inko versions, having to install it via another language's toolchain (Rust) seems a bit onerous.

Edit: Oh I see, ivm itself relies on Cargo to build inko rather than downloading binaries.

Still, it would be nice if it didn't need another language's toolchain just to use Inko :(



There are no pre-built binaries. If you're using Arch Linux there's an AUR package (see https://docs.inko-lang.org/manual/main/getting-started/ivm/#...), but for other platforms you'll need to use `cargo install`. I'm hopeful that over time the list of package managers including ivm will grow, making this process easier.
