Command-line interface (CLI)

The rustac command-line interface can be installed two ways. If you have Rust, use cargo:

cargo install rustac # to use libduckdb on your system
# or
cargo install rustac -F duckdb-bundled  # to build libduckdb on install (slow)

The CLI is called rustac:

rustac --help

If you don't have DuckDB on your system, you can also use the Python wheel, which includes libduckdb:

python -m pip install rustac

To get shell completions, use:

rustac generate-completions <your-shell> > <completion-file>
