Rust is a modern programming language known for its performance and reliability, particularly suited for systems programming. If you’re using AlmaLinux 8.10, a CentOS alternative, and want to install Rust, follow these steps to get up and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To start, update your system to ensure all existing packages are up to date. Open a terminal and run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ sudo dnf update -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nStep 2: Install Required Dependencies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Install the necessary dependencies for Rust. Rust requires curl<\/code> to download the installation script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n$ sudo dnf install -y curl<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nStep 3: Download and Install rustup<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The recommended way to install Rust is via rustup<\/code>, a toolchain installer for the Rust programming language. Download and run the installation script with curl<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https:\/\/sh.rustup.rs | sh<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nDuring the installation, you will be prompted to proceed with the installation. Press 1<\/code> to proceed with the default installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 4: Configure the Environment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
After installation, you need to configure your current shell environment to include Cargo’s bin directory (where Rust binaries are installed). This can be done by running:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ source $HOME\/.cargo\/env<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nTo make this change permanent, add the following line to your .bashrc<\/code> or .bash_profile<\/code> file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n$ echo 'source $HOME\/.cargo\/env' >> ~\/.bashrc<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThen, reload the shell configuration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ source ~\/.bashrc<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nStep 5: Verify the Installation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
To confirm that Rust is installed correctly, check the version of Rust and Cargo (Rust’s package manager) by running:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ rustc --version\n$ cargo --version<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou should see output similar to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ rustc 1.56.0 (09c42c458 2021-10-18)\n$ cargo 1.56.0 (4ed5d137b 2021-10-07)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nStep 6: Update Rust (Optional)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Rust is frequently updated with new features and improvements. To update Rust to the latest version, use rustup<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n$ rustup update<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nStep 7: Create and Run a Simple Rust Program<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
To verify that everything is working correctly, you can create and run a simple Rust program. First, create a new directory for your project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ mkdir ~\/rust-projects\n$ cd ~\/rust-projects<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nCreate a new Rust project using Cargo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ cargo new hello_world\n$ cd hello_world<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThis will create a basic “Hello, world!” program. To run it, use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ cargo run<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou should see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compiling hello_world v0.1.0 (\/home\/user\/rust-projects\/hello_world)\n Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 2.18s\n Running `target\/debug\/hello_world`\nHello, world!<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
