Getting Started with Rust

Install Rust

The recommended way to install Rust is through rustup:

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

After installation, restart your shell or run:

source ~/.cargo/env

Verify the installation:

rustc --version
cargo --version

Create Your First Project

Use Cargo to create a new binary project:

cargo new hello_rust
cd hello_rust

This creates:

• Cargo.toml - package manifest
• src/main.rs - your code entry point

Run Your First Program

cargo run

Expected output:

   Compiling hello_rust v0.1.0 (/path/to/hello_rust)
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.5s
     Running `target/debug/hello_rust`
Hello, world!
