cargo install wasmtime installs the cli, so that should work as expected.

However, using the installer as described on wasmtime.dev has advantages, such as not needing to compile, and setting up a directory for a cache which makes uses of the same .wasm file much faster after the first compile.

@tschneidereit oh actually the embedding API crate took the name wasmtime, so cargo install wasmtime won't work. I do think though that we should probably publish the CLI itself, so I think we largely just need to update our publication scripts to publish wasmtime-cli in addition to the rest of the crates.

Oh, hah—serves to show how it's been since I tried this! @clouds56, my apologies for the misinformation.

@alexcrichton that sounds good to me, yes.

cargo install wasmtime-cli now works, and installs the wasmtime command!
