Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety. With its growing popularity for performance-critical applications, learning to install and use Rust can be a valuable addition to your programming toolkit. This guide will walk you through the steps to install Rust<\/a> on Ubuntu<\/a> 24.04 LTS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rust’s memory safety guarantees without needing a garbage collector make it a unique and powerful language for various applications, from web development to embedded systems<\/a>. It\u2019s designed to provide better memory safety while maintaining high performance, making it a favorite among developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before starting the installation process, ensure you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, update your package index to ensure you have the latest information on available packages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Install the necessary dependencies that Rust needs to compile code and manage packages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The recommended way to install Rust is using To confirm that Rust is installed correctly, you can check the installed version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should see output similar to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rust is regularly updated with new features, improvements, and bug fixes. To ensure you have the latest version, you can update Rust using rustup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cargo is Rust’s package manager and build system. It is installed automatically with Rust. You can verify the Cargo installation by checking its version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that Rust and Cargo are installed, you can create a simple Rust project to test your setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This command creates a new directory named You should see the output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Congratulations! You have successfully installed the Rust programming language on your Ubuntu 24.04 LTS system. You are now ready to start exploring Rust’s powerful features and write safe, concurrent, and fast code.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Update Your System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$ sudo apt update\n$ sudo apt upgrade -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Install Dependencies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$ sudo apt install -y build-essential curl<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Install Rust Using rustup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
rustup<\/code>, a toolchain installer for Rust. It installs Rust and manages updates and versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https:\/\/sh.rustup.rs | sh<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\n
1<\/code> to proceed with the default installation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
$ source $HOME\/.cargo\/env<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Verify the Installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$ rustc --version<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
$ rustc 1.78.0 (9b00957e5 2024-04-29)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Update Rust<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$ rustup update<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Install and Use Cargo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$ cargo --version<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 7: Create and Run a Simple Rust Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
$ cargo new hello_world\n$ cd hello_world<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
hello_world<\/code> with a simple Rust project structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
$ cargo build<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\n
$ cargo run<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Hello, world!<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
