Note : fcp is optimized for systems with an SSD. On systems with a HDD, fcp may exhibit poor performance. Installation Please note that fcp supports only Unix-like operating systems (e.g. Linux, macOS, etc.). Pre-built binaries Pre-built binaries for some systems can be found under this repository's releases. Via cargo fcp requires Rust version 1.53.0 or newer. fcp can be installed using cargo by running the following: Arch Linux fcp can be installed on Arch Linux via the fcp-bin AUR. NixOS As of NixOS 21.11 fcp is included in the stable channel. For earlier versions, fcp is available through nixpkgs-unstable . Assuming you've already added the nixpkgs-unstable channel, fcp can be installed by running the following: macOS fcp can be installed on macOS via Homebrew by running the following: Usage Usage information can be found by running fcp --help , and has been reproduced below: Benchmarks fcp doesn't just claim to be faster than cp , it is faster than cp . As different operating systems display different performance characteristics, the same benchmarks were run on both macOS and Linux. macOS The following benchmarks were run on a 2018 MacBook Pro 1 (2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9, 16 GiB RAM, SSD) with APFS as the filesystem.
