Installing Rust development tools
Rust development tools can be installed in several different ways for different operating systems. Package managers on several different operating systems all have their own individual distributions. In this section, we'll focus on the official set of installation tools created and maintained by the Rust project. This has the advantage of providing a nearly uniform set of installation instructions across all major operating systems.
