powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://github.com/stianfro/httping/releases/download/v0.1.0/httping-installer.ps1 | iex"
```

### Add HTTPing to PATH

The installer puts `httping` in `$CARGO_HOME/bin`, or in
`$HOME/.cargo/bin` when `CARGO_HOME` is not set. It tries to update the
shell startup files automatically. Restart the shell after installation.

If `httping --version` still reports that the command is not found, run the
command for your shell once to add the default install directory permanently.

For Bash:

```bash
printf '\nexport PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"\n' >> "$HOME/.bashrc"
source "$HOME/.bashrc"
```

For Zsh:

```zsh
printf '\nexport PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"\n' >> "$HOME/.zshrc"
source "$HOME/.zshrc"
```

For Fish:

```fish
fish_add_path --universal "$HOME/.cargo/bin"
```

If `CARGO_HOME` points to another directory, use `$CARGO_HOME/bin` instead.
The PowerShell installer updates the user PATH. Open a new PowerShell window
after it finishes.
