where do the :deps go after they are installed? about evcxr HOT 2 CLOSED

I'm not 100% sure whether you're asking about how it works internally, or something else, but I'll try to answer. Pretty much everything after the :dep gets put into the [dependencies] section of Cargo.toml. You can look at what evcxr is doing by running :last_compile_dir and then going and looking in that directory. You'll see what gets put into the Cargo.toml. Note that the result of :last_compile_dir used to change with each thing you ran, but will now always be the same.

The actual crate will get downloaded by Cargo as it would do if you were running cargo build on an ordinary Rust crate.

Note that :deps is only temporary, so I'm not sure I'd say that they're getting installed. If you restart evcxr, you'll need to do :deps again should you want the same crate.

Not sure if that answered your question, but feel free to ask follow-up questions if not.

This answers my question. Thanks.
