Rust-lang

A very simple extension for working with Rust.

What does it do?

Adds Cargo to your PATH so Rust commands work globally:

PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"

Install Rust (via rustup):

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
(This .matrix extension does this for you..) Add Cargo to your PATH :

PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"

Rustup -- Toolchain installer & manager (includes Cargo)
Cargo -- Build system & package manager
C compiler & linker -- Needed for crates with native code
- Linux: sudo apt install build-essential
- macOS: xcode-select --install
- Windows: Install Visual Studio Build Tools (C++ workload)
Git -- For fetching dependencies from repositories
(Optional) rust-analyzer -- IDE integration for autocompletion, type hints, and docs

Verify your Rust installation:

rustc --version
cargo --version

Create and run a sample project:

cargo new hello-rust
cd hello-rust
cargo run

You should see:

Hello, world!
