Installation

Learn how to install Rust on your system and get started with development.

Why Rust?

Rust is a systems programming language that focuses on performance, safety, and concurrency. It helps you write fast and secure code, making it ideal for building high-quality software.

Getting Started

To install Rust, we recommend using rustup, a toolchain installer for Rust. rustup not only installs Rust but also allows you to manage different versions of the compiler and libraries.

Install Rust with rustup

Open your terminal and run the following command for Linux/macOS:

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

For Windows, you can download an installer from the official Rust website.

Verify Your Installation

After the installation completes, verify rust is installed correctly by running:

rustc --version
 

Create Your First Rust Project

Now that Rust is installed, create a new Rust project by running:

cargo new hello-world
cd hello-world
 

You can run this project with:

cargo run
