Rust Install

To install Rust, follow these steps for your operating system. The easiest and most recommended way to install Rust is using rustup, a toolchain installer for the Rust programming language.

Installing Rust with Rustup

Step 1: Install Rustup

Open a terminal and run the following command: 

sh
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

This command will download and run the Rustup installation script. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. By default, Rustup installs Rust and Cargo (Rust's package manager) in your home directory.

Step 2: Configure Your Current Shell

After the installation is complete, configure your current shell to have access to the cargo and rustc commands. Run: 

sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env

Verifying the Installation

To verify that Rust is installed correctly, run: 

sh
rustc --version

This command should output the version of the Rust compiler installed on your system.

Updating Rust

To update Rust to the latest version, use Rustup: 

sh
rustup update

Uninstalling Rust

If you need to uninstall Rust and Rustup, run: 

sh
rustup self uninstall
