Rust installation


There are several ways to install Rust on different operating systems. Here are the basic steps for installing Rust on some of the most popular platforms:

  • Windows:

    1. Download the Rust installer from the official website (https://www.rust-lang.org/).
    2. Run the installer and follow the prompts.
    3. Verify the installation by running rustc --version in the Command Prompt.
  • macOS:

    1. Install Rust using the official package manager Homebrew by running brew install rust in the terminal.
    2. Verify the installation by running rustc --version in the terminal.
  • Linux:

    1. Install Rust using the package manager that your distribution uses. For example, on Ubuntu, you can use sudo apt-get install rustc
    2. Verify the installation by running rustc --version in the terminal.
  • Rust also provides a tool called rustup which is a command-line installer for Rust. It provides an easy way to manage multiple Rust versions and also provides access to the Rust toolchain.

    1. Download rustup from https://rustup.rs/
    2. Run the installer and follow the prompts.
    3. Verify the installation by running rustc --version in the terminal.

Once you have Rust installed, you can use the built-in package manager (Cargo) to download and manage additional libraries and dependencies for your projects.
