sudo apt install rustc
Once the installation is completed you can verify the version using the following command:
$ rustc --version rustc 1.41.0
Step 3. Create Rust Project.
Now we create your first project:
mkdir ~/projects cd ~/projects mkdir hello_world cd hello_world
Create a new file with the .rs extension. Example:
sudo nano hello_world.rs

println!("Hello, world!");
}
Then, compile and run the program:
rustc hello_world.rs ./hello_world
Result output of your Rust code:
