Installation

Rustup

There are many ways to install Rust on your system. For the moment the official way to install Rust is using Rustup.

📖 Rustup installs The Rust Programming Language from the official release channels, enabling you to easily switch between stable, beta, and nightly compilers and keep them updated. It makes cross-compiling simpler with binary builds of the standard library for common platforms.

📖 Rustup installs rustc, cargo, rustup and other standard tools to Cargo's bin directory. On Unix it is located at $HOME/.cargo/bin and on Windows at %USERPROFILE%\.cargo\bin. This is the same directory that cargo install will install Rust programs and Cargo plugins.

⭐️ If you are on Microsoft Windows, you have to install Visual C++ Build Tools 2013 or higher. The recommended way is installing Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools which requires additional 3–4 GBs.

For Mac and Linux Users

For Windows Users
