Getting Started with Rustup

To install Rust, we use rustup. It manages versions and toolchains.

Meet Cargo: Your New Best Friend

Cargo is Rust's package manager, build tool, and test runner.

• cargo new project_name: Creates a new project.
• cargo build: Compiles your code.
• cargo run: Compiles and runs in one step.
• cargo check: Verifies code without building a binary (much faster).

The Anatomy of a Cargo Project

• Cargo.toml: The configuration file (manifest) where you define dependencies.
• src/main.rs: The entry point of your application.
