Package Differences

Package name and binary name differences across platforms.

Package Name Differences

Many tools have different package names across platforms. This table maps the tool name to its package name on each platform.

bat	cargo-binstall	cargo-binstall	cargo-binstall	Installed via Rust on all platforms
eza	cargo-binstall	cargo-binstall	cargo-binstall	Installed via Rust on all platforms
fd	cargo-binstall	cargo-binstall	cargo-binstall	Installed via Rust on all platforms
ripgrep	ripgrep	ripgrep	ripgrep	All platforms use rg binary
fzf	fzf	fzf	fzf	✅ Consistent
zoxide	cargo-binstall	cargo-binstall	cargo-binstall	Installed via Rust on all platforms
neovim	neovim	neovim	neovim	All use nvim binary
tmux	tmux	tmux	tmux	✅ Consistent
lazygit	lazygit	via snap/release	lazygit	Ubuntu needs manual install
yazi	yazi	via cargo	yazi	Ubuntu needs Rust
git-delta	cargo-binstall	cargo-binstall	cargo-binstall	Installed via Rust on all platforms
jq	jq	jq	jq	✅ Consistent

Binary Name Differences

With the current installation strategy (cargo-binstall for Rust tools, GitHub releases for others), binary names are consistent across all platforms. No symlinks or workarounds needed.

Rust/Cargo Installation

Rust and cargo-binstall are installed on all platforms for consistent Rust tool management:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -s -- -y
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
cargo install cargo-binstall

Cargo-Installed Tools (All Platforms)

These tools are installed via cargo-binstall (pre-compiled binaries, fast) on all platforms:

• bat - cat alternative
• fd-find - find alternative
• eza - ls alternative
• zoxide - cd alternative
• git-delta - git diff viewer
• oxker - Docker container TUI

Installation is handled by management/common/install/language-tools/cargo-tools.sh.
