Rust overview by Fabian

trying to get to know Rust.

Examples

Every Example has its own documentation in each folder.

Folder	Description	Keywords
001-hello-world	Basic hello-world example	rustfmt,compiler
002-adding-numbers	adding some numbers and introducing variables	variables,datatypes

Installation

First installed visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/[Microsoft C Build Tools]. Tick C Build Tools and english language pack. Installation can take some time.

After this run rustup from the rust-lang.org Website.

Output of Rustup:

Welcome to Rust!

This will download and install the official compiler for the Rust
programming language, and its package manager, Cargo.

Rustup metadata and toolchains will be installed into the Rustup
home directory, located at:

  C:\Users\FabianLemke\.rustup

This can be modified with the RUSTUP_HOME environment variable.

The Cargo home directory is located at:

  C:\Users\FabianLemke\.cargo

This can be modified with the CARGO_HOME environment variable.

The cargo, rustc, rustup and other commands will be added to
Cargo's bin directory, located at:

  C:\Users\FabianLemke\.cargo\bin

This path will then be added to your PATH environment variable by
modifying the HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Environment/PATH registry key.

You can uninstall at any time with rustup self uninstall and
these changes will be reverted.

Rust is installed now. Great!

To get started you may need to restart your current shell.
This would reload its PATH environment variable to include
Cargo's bin directory (%USERPROFILE%\.cargo\bin).

Press the Enter key to continue.

rustup isn’t only the installer but has some other tools too, which is called the toolchain.

Linux and MacOS is documented in the Rust Book

Update

use the rustup command to update rust and all its components: rustup update

uninstall Rust

this can be done with rustup self uninstall.
