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.
💡 More information can be found on the Github page of Rustup project.
After installing Rust you can check the current version by typing rustc --version
orrustc -V
on your terminal to verify the success of the installation.
