Installation

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.
