Repository: ouch-org/ouch (language: rust)

Issue:
The "Dependencies" section of the README seems outdated.
https://github.com/ouch-org/ouch/blob/0dbbd3b8825d1bb8f985b3e384cdd987d5f4d40f/README.md?plain=1#L166-L176

This mentions a download script that no longer seems to exist. Also, it's unclear what systems these dependencies are necessary on (what about each version of the official binaries?), or whether these are build-time or runtime dependencies.


Discussion / hints:
Thanks for spotting this, yeah the script does not exist anymore.

Dependencies are runtime dependencies, but I'll follow up with a PR to clarify.

-If you installed `ouch` using the download script, you will need no dependencies (static MUSL binary).
+When `ouch` gives a linking error, it means you're missing a runtime dependency.
+
+If you're downloading binaries from the [releases page](https://github.com/ouch-org/ouch/releases), try the `musl` variants, those are static binaries that require no runtime dependencies.
 
 Otherwise, you'll need these libraries installed on your system:

-These are available on all mainstream _Linux_ distributions and on _macOS_.
+These should be available in your system's package manager.
