error[E0554]: #![feature] may not be used on the stable release channel

Ran cargo install gitmoji and got an error:

error[E0554]: `#![feature]` may not be used on the stable release channel
  --> /home/user/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/gitmoji-1.0.0/src/main.rs:21:12

21 | #![feature(with_options)]
   |   

I don't want to run the Node one because I don't trust NPM where my command line is concerned.

I read here the above error may be caused because I'm not building using rust nightly. After installing and rebuilding with rust nightly I saw the following error:

error[E0599]: no function or associated item named `with_options` found for struct `File` in the current scope

Should this software build without using rust nightly? The README seems to imply so.
