How to install a Cargo package binary without setting up a Rust development environment

Ubuntu or Debian users, if you are not interested in doing rust development at this time, and do not want to create a ~/.cargo directory, then instead do the following:

switch to root: sudo su
install cargo package: apt-get -y update && apt-get -y install cargo
install the package of interest under /tmp; for example, unf: cargo install --bin --root /tmp unf
navigate to /tmp/bin and move the unf binary to /usr/local/bin
end result: /usr/local/bin/unf

Examples:
