In general if install fails, try with --locked.

cargo install --locked plotxy

Version 0.2.2 and up on MacOS

rust-roolchain.toml shuld take care for that for now. For other platforms you might want to delete it.

There is a SIMD change, that has not been reflected in a released version of pathfinder, an underlying font raster library. Try to use a rust version before the SIMD change, e.g.:

cargo +nightly-2024-08-04 install --locked plotxy
