I'm trying to install rustic on Ubuntu based on the directions on their site (Installation - rustic user documentation). It looks like it succeeds but it doesn't run, which makes me suspect there's more configuration which needs to happen. What am I doing wrong?

$ cargo binstall rustic-rs
 INFO resolve: Resolving package: 'rustic-rs'
 INFO resolve: rustic-rs v0.10.1 is already installed, use --force to override
