Install Rust
Using rustup (Recommended)
It looks like you’re running macOS, Linux, or another Unix-like OS. To download Rustup and install Rust, run the following in your terminal, then follow the on-screen instructions. See"Other Installation Methods" if you are on Windows.
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | shIt looks like you’re running Windows. To start using Rust, download the installer, then run the program and follow the onscreen instructions. You may need to install theVisual Studio C++ Build tools when prompted to do so. If you are not on Windows see"Other Installation Methods".
Windows Subsystem for Linux
If you’re a Windows Subsystem for Linux user run the following in your terminal, then follow the on-screen instructions to install Rust.
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh To install Rust, if you are running a Unix such as WSL, Linux or macOS,
run the following in your terminal, then follow the on-screen instructions.
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh If you are running Windows,
download and runrustup‑init.exe then follow the on-screen instructions.
Notes about Rust installation
Getting started
If you're just getting started withRust and would like a more detailed walk-through, see ourgetting started page.
Windows considerations
On Windows, Rust additionally requires the MSVC build tools for Visual Studio 2013 or later. See MSVC prerequistes
For further information about configuring Rust on Windows see the Windows-specificrustup documentation.
Toolchain management withrustup
Rust is installed and managed by therustup tool. Rust has a 6-week rapid release process and supports agreat number of platforms, so there are many builds of Rust available at any time.rustup manages these builds in a consistent way on every platform that Rust supports, enabling installation of Rust from the beta and nightly release channels as well as support for additional cross-compilation targets.
If you've installedrustup in the past, you can update your installation by runningrustup update.
For more information see therustup documentation.
Configuring thePATH environmentvariable
In the Rust development environment, all tools are installed to the~/.cargo/bin%USERPROFILE%\.cargo\bin directory, and this is where you will find the Rust toolchain, includingrustc,cargo, andrustup.
Accordingly, it is customary for Rust developers to include this directory in theirPATH environment variable. During installationrustup will attempt to configure thePATH. Because of differences between platforms, command shells, and bugs inrustup, the modifications toPATH may not take effect until the console is restarted, or the user is logged out, or it may not succeed at all.
If, after installation, runningrustc --version in the console fails, this is the most likely reason.
Uninstall Rust
If at any point you would like to uninstall Rust, you can runrustup self uninstall. We'll miss you though!
Other installation methods
The installation described above, viarustup, is the preferred way to install Rust for mostdevelopers. However, Rust can be installed via other methods as well.
