Rust is a multi-paradigm, high-level, general-purpose programming language. Rust emphasizes performance, type safety, and concurrency. Rust enforces memory safety—that is, that all references point to valid memory—without requiring the use of a garbage collector or reference counting present in other memory-safe languages.
This article goes through how to install cargo on you local machine and tutorial on mirror settings if you are located in China.

Rustup: the Rust installer and version management tool
The primary way that folks install Rust is through a tool called Rustup, which is a Rust installer and version management tool.
It looks like you’re running macOS, Linux, or another Unix-like OS. To download Rustup and install Rust, run the following in your terminal, then follow the on-screen instructions. See "Other Installation Methods" if you are on Windows.
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
If you need to update your Rust, you can simply enter rustup update.
Mirror settings for users in China
- Go to folder
/Users/{yourname}/.cargo/(create one if you don't have it yet) - Create a file named
config.toml - Add the following content to
config.toml
