Rust Install - Shell-Bash

If you are a programmer looking to install the Rust programming language on your system using the Shell-Bash command, you have come to the right place. In this guide, we will take you through the steps required to install Rust using Shell-Bash.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Shell-Bash command
• An internet connection

Steps

Follow the steps below to install Rust using Shell-Bash:

Step 1 - Install Rustup

To install Rust, you need to install Rustup first. Rustup is a tool that allows you to easily install and manage multiple versions of Rust.

To install Rustup, enter the following command in your terminal:

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

This command will download the Rustup installer script and run it. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

Step 2 - Configure Rustup

After Rustup is installed, you need to configure it by adding the Rust binaries to your system's PATH environment variable.

To do this, add the following line to your shell's configuration file (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc, etc.):

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

Then, run the following command to reload your shell's configuration:

source ~/.bashrc

Step 3 - Verify Rust Installation

To verify that Rust is correctly installed, run the following command:

rustc --version

This command will print the version of Rust installed on your system.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Rust using Shell-Bash.
