WARNING!!! Only x86_64 and AArch64 support for now!

Cargo-vika is a cargo command that can be obtained by executing "cargo install cargo-vika".

Can be used like this: "cargo vika [COMMAND] [ARGS]"

It supports few commands:

P.S. I really don't mind if you send to my email(check Cargo.toml.authors) your own variant of this README, 'cause I'm not a good designer :)
