# installation

Rustup gets you the ability to install rust in any version, from stable to cutting edge.

## Linux, macos (step 1)

use apt, pacman, curl, brew or whatever, to install _rustup_.

## windows (alternate step 1)

choco install -y rustup

## Always (steps 2 and so on)

- `rustup-init.sh` (Windows: rustup-init.ex, e.g. %AppData%\Local\Temp\chocolatey\rustup.install\1.25.1\rustup-init.exe)
- select a good match in the dialog of this CLI installer,
- i.e. stable and default amount of features should be fine
- rust comes with `cargo` as a ``crate'' manager for package installation

## Get dependencies and run

```shell
cargo build # gets dependencies from Cargo.toml
cargo run   #  re-runs on (some?) changes
```
