 You only need to install rust ifnyoubwant tonbuild from sourcr. You can just download the binaries listed on gitworkshop.dev/ngit

I think I'll add zapstore style releases as nostr events and host the binaries via blossom.

I'm also happy to use a magnet link.

 I also didn't. Went the cargo route and it took over 2 hours to download. And then another 2 hours for the update.

 i already had it installed for the shitcoinery in replicatr repo and maybe i had it there before that for gossip

i don't mind really because i have 64gb 12 core processor fast NVMe but it used to be a pain on a 20gb 8 core with slow SSD (laptop), not as bad as C++ tho

 yeah, to contrast with a 125mb download, and a short procedure to unpack it and add to the environment that anyone can do with Go, and then after that builds everything in under 20 seconds first time out most of the time
