1. Alacritty requires the most recent stable Rust compiler; it can be installed with
`rustup`.
Note: **DO NOT** use the Homebrew Rust compiler on macOS (see [FAQ][faq] for
explanation).
#### Installing Rust compiler with `rustup`

If all goes well, this should place a binary at `target/release/alacritty`.
**BEFORE YOU RUN IT:** Install the config file as described below; otherwise,
many things (such as arrow keys) will not work. If you're on macOS, you'll need

## FAQ
- _proc-macro derive panicked during macOS build; what's wrong?_ There's an
issue with the Rust compiler from Homebrew. Please follow the instructions
and use `rustup`.
- _Is it really the fastest terminal emulator?_ In the terminals I've
benchmarked against, alacritty is either faster, WAY faster, or at least
neutral. There are no benchmarks in which I've found Alacritty to be slower.
