Rust Introduction And Setup

Rust introduction and setup

Created By: chatGPT

Rust is a systems programming language focused on speed, memory safety, and parallelism. It is designed to produce reliable and efficient software. Here’s how you can get started with Rust.

First, you need to install Rust on your system. The easiest way to do this is by using rustup, which is the official installer and version management tool for Rust.

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

After the installation, you will need to set up your environment. You can do this by running the following command:

source $HOME/.cargo/env

Next, check if Rust is correctly installed by verifying the version. You can do this using the following command:

rustc --version

To create a new Rust project, you can use the Rust package manager, Cargo. Run the following command to create a new project:

cargo new my_project

Navigate into your newly created project directory with:

cd my_project

To build your project and see if everything is set up correctly, use the command:

cargo build

After building, you can run your project with the following command:

cargo run

You can start coding by opening the src/main.rs file. This file is where you will write your Rust code. Here’s a simple example to get you started:

fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

Congratulations! You have successfully set up Rust and created your first project. From here, you can explore more of Rust's features and delve deeper into its documentation.
