Description

Observed behavior:

  1. Follow this guide, selecting the 'cargo' tab to get started, creating a new Tauri app.
  2. I jump to the 'Development Cycle' section, as I'm working with cargo, and find cargo tauri dev here as the command to start the server.
  3. I run
➜ cargo tauri                           
error: no such command: `tauri`

Expected behavior:

  1. I see a cargo install tauri-cli in the instructions here before I start my server via cargo tauri dev.
