Hey @robberdom doesn’t seem like a Fuel issue but a dependency issue. Take a look at linux - How do I fix the Rust error "linker 'cc' not found" for Debian on Windows 10? - Stack Overflow

thanks, fren. i tried it and installed everything successfully. this is what i got still:

Updating crates.io index
error: binary `cargo` already exists in destination
Add --force to overwrite
error: there is nothing to install in `generate v1.5.0`, because it has no binaries
`cargo install` is only for installing programs, and can't be used with libraries.
To use a library crate, add it as a dependency to a Cargo project with `cargo add`.
     Summary Failed to install cargo, generate (see error(s) above).
error: some crates failed to install

Hey @robberdom still doesn’t look like a Fuel issue but looks like something wrong with your binaries. Have you tried the suggestion of forcing the overwrite?

no, i haven’t. how can i do that, please? @calldelegation

Hey @robberdom I was talking specifically within the error message you got.

error: binary `cargo` already exists in destination
Add --force to overwrite

After you have set up your environment properly you should be able to run

cargo install cargo-generate

Closing this for now as this is not a Fuel issue.
