rust get crate version

To get the version of a crate in Rust, you can use the cargo command-line tool. First, make sure you have Rust and Cargo installed on your system. Then, open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where your Rust project is located.

To check the version of a specific crate, you can use the cargo search command followed by the name of the crate:

cargo search crate_name

This command will display information about the crate, including its version. If the crate is found, you will see a list of search results. Look for the crate you're interested in and note its version number.

Alternatively, if you already have the crate installed as a dependency in your project, you can use the cargo command followed by tree to display a tree-like view of your project's dependencies, including their versions:

cargo tree

This command will show the dependency tree, with each crate listed along with its version number.

These methods should help you obtain the version information for a crate in Rust.
