+### As a rustc replacement (`clippy-driver`)
+
+Clippy can also be used in projects that do not use cargo. To do so, you will need to replace
+your `rustc` compilation commands with `clippy-driver`. For example, if your project runs:
+
+```terminal
+rustc --edition 2018 -Cpanic=abort foo.rs
+```
+
+Then, to enable Clippy, you will need to call:
+
+```terminal
+clippy-driver --edition 2018 -Cpanic=abort foo.rs
+```
