Environment Setup in Rust Language

Setting up the Rust environment on Windows, Linux, or macOS is straightforward.

Rust provides a tool called rustup to manage the installation and update of the Rust compiler and associated tools. Here are the steps to set up Rust on different platforms:

Environment Setup Windows:

• Install Rust:

• Visit the official Rust website at https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install.
• Click on the “Windows” tab to download the rustup-init.exe installer.
• Run the installer, and follow the on-screen instructions. Rust will be installed to the default location.

• Open a Command Prompt or PowerShell:

• After installation, open a new Command Prompt or PowerShell window to ensure the PATH variable updates correctly.

• Verify Installation:

• To verify that Rust is installed, run the following command:
  rustc --version

Environment Setup Linux / macOS:

• Install Rust:

• Open a terminal.
• Run the following command to download and install rustup: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh or wget https://sh.rustup.rs -O rustup-init.sh chmod +x rustup-init.sh ./rustup-init.sh
• Follow the on-screen instructions.

• Update PATH:

• You may need to restart your shell or run source $HOME/.cargo/env to update your PATH.

• Verify Installation:

• To verify that Rust is installed, run the following command:
  rustc --version

• Install Additional Tools (optional):

• Rust comes with a package manager called Cargo. You can use it to install additional tools and libraries. For example, to install the Rust formatting tool, run:
  cargo install rustfmt

That’s it! You have successfully set up Rust on your Windows, Linux, or macOS machine. You can start writing Rust code and using Cargo to manage your projects.
