Could not find `Cargo.toml or any parent directory

[dotnetspec]

Hi,

I'm in the process of installing Parity on Win 10 32 bit machine.

I follow download and follow instructions from here:

https://parity.io/parity.html

git clone https://github.com/paritytech/parity.git && cd parity

cargo run --release

and get error:

could not find Cargo.toml in C:\Program Files\Ethcore\Parity or any parent directory

all the cargo.toml files are in sub directories.

Why is cargo looking in parent directories?

How to fix?

Thanks for the report! Are you sure you're cd'ing into the parity directory? The repository has a top-level Cargo.toml, so in theory this would work

Hey, I got the same error. But I realized that the installation instructions in Pariti's hub isn't accurate. The commands in the section Build from source doesn't clone the repository.

# download Parity code
$ git clone https://github.com/ethcore/parity
$ cd parity

If you go to https://github.com/ethcore/parity you will see the following message:

Moved to https://github.com/paritytech/parity

Then you should run the following command to clone the project:

$ git clone https://github.com/paritytech/parity.git

It worked for me.

Ah that'd do it, thanks for the comment @tregismoreira!

I got the same issue and i fix it by finding the path of Cargo.toml " .cargo\registry\src\github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823\cargo_toml-0.11.6 " in my case... so i just run "cargo check" or "cargo update" or "cargo add library" from terminal from this path..... may be i should add specific environnement PATH to avoid reffering all time to this path..
