| ## Install Rust and Cargo |
| |
| The easiest way to get Cargo is to install the current stable release of [Rust] |
| by using [rustup]. Installing Rust using `rustup` will also install `cargo`. |
| |
| On Linux and macOS systems, this is done as follows: |
| |
| ```console |
| curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh |
| ``` |
| |
| It will download a script, and start the installation. If everything goes well, |
| you’ll see this appear: |
| |
| ```console |
| Rust is installed now. Great! |
| ``` |
| |
| On Windows, download and run [rustup-init.exe]. It will start the installation |
| in a console and present the above message on success. |
| |
| After this, you can use the `rustup` command to also install `beta` or `nightly` |
| channels for Rust and Cargo. |
| |
| For other installation options and information, visit the |
| [install][install-rust] page of the Rust website. |
