Introduction

rustup installs The Rust Programming Language from the official release channels, enabling you to easily switch between stable, beta, and nightly compilers and keep them updated. It makes cross-compiling simpler with binary builds of the standard library for common platforms. And it runs on all platforms Rust supports.

Check out the Concepts chapter for an overview of how rustup works and some of the terminology it uses. The Installation chapter covers installing rustup and getting started.

The source code of rustup and this manual may be found at https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup. If you find a problem, check out the issue tracker.

Release notes for rustup may be found in the CHANGELOG.
