To install the tool, execute the following command in your terminal: ``` -cargo install bootimage --version "^0.7.7" +cargo install bootimage ``` -The `^0.7.7` is a so-called [_caret requirement_], which means "version `0.7.7` or a later compatible version". So if we find a bug and publish version `0.7.8` or `0.7.9`, cargo would automatically use the latest version, as long as it is still a version `0.7.x`. However, it wouldn't choose version `0.8.0`, because it is not considered as compatible. Note that dependencies in your `Cargo.toml` are caret requirements by default, so the same rules are applied to our bootloader dependency. - -[_caret requirement_]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/specifying-dependencies.html#caret-requirements - For running `bootimage` and building the bootloader, you need to have the `llvm-tools-preview` rustup component installed. You can do so by executing `rustup component add llvm-tools-preview`. After installing `bootimage` and adding the `llvm-tools-preview` component, we can create a bootable disk image by executing:
