How to solve error: no such subcommand: `generate`

Question

I have installed rust using curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh on Ubuntu.

But when I tried cargo generate --git https://github.com/CosmWasm/cw-template.git --name FOO I met the error like this error: no such subcommand: 'generate'

My cargo version is cargo 1.59.0 (49d8809dc 2022-02-10).

Why this happens?

Answer 1

You should install the cargo-generate with:

cargo install cargo-generate

Some cargo sub commands are built in, while others are installed separately. You can get the list of available sub commands with:

cargo --list
