The sample is: rustup doc in local

Environment setup

  • Setup in *nix and macos
1curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.3 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
2rustup component add rust-src rust-analyzer rust-analysis
3# update the rust binary
4rustup update
5# uninstall the rust and rustup self
6rustup self uninstall
7
8rustc -V
9cargo -V
  • Setup the rustup environment in windows use Mingw64-Ucrt64
    • Install the Msys2 environment Msys2
    • Open the Ucrt64 console in windows and enable the Ucrt staging Enable staging
    • Install the rustup use pacman -Ss mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-rustup
  • Select and install the compile tools and environment
    • for the gnu tools rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
    • for the native windows rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
  • Set the default toolchain rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

Debug in VSCode ide use mingw-w64-ucrt environment

  • Installation the extension rust-analyzer and CodeLLDB
    • CodeLLDB (vadimcn.vscode-lldb) – on macOS/Linux this include the Mingw64 or Ucrt64 environment
    • Microsoft C++ (ms-vscode.cpptools) – on Windows
  • Create or change the Cargo config file in C:\Users\you\.cargo\config.toml
1[target.x86_64-pc-windows-gnu]
2linker = "D:\\msys64\\ucrt64\\bin\\gcc.exe"
3ar = "D:\\msys64\\ucrt64\\bin\\ar.exe"
  • If the rust-analyzer can’t launch the lldb.dll, may be can disalbe the CodeLLDB extesion and redebug the rust program the CodeLLDB extension can’t not working if use UCRT64 environment in windows

Basic commands

Launch the Comprehensive-rust in local use the mdbook

This is the Rust course used by the Android team at Google. It provides you the material to quickly teach Rust.

 1# clone the repo to local
 2git clone https://github.com/google/comprehensive-rust/
 3cd comprehensive-rust

 5# install tehse tools
 6cargo install mdbook
 7cargo install --locked mdbook-svgbob
 8cargo install --locked mdbook-i18n-helpers
 9cargo install --locked i18n-report
10cargo install --locked mdbook-linkcheck
11cargo install --locked --path mdbook-exerciser
12cargo install --locked --path mdbook-course
13
14mdbook test
15mdbook serve

Launch the rustlings rustlings.cool

Small exercises to get you used to reading and writing Rust code!

 1# install the rustlings
 2cargo install rustlings
 3# initialization and enter the directory
 4rustlings init
 5cd rustlings/
 6rustlings
 7
 8# open the exercises in vscode
 9cd rustlings/
10code .

Setup the 100-exercises-to-learn-rust in local

  • Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/mainmatter/100-exercises-to-learn-rust.git
  • Checkout
1cd 100-exercises-to-learn-rust
2git checkout -b my-solutions
  • Installation the Workshop runntime
1cargo install --locked workshop-runner
2# enter the exercises folder
3cd exercises
4# open the project in vs code
5code ./01_intro/00_welcome
6# debug and complete the src/lib.rs
7# launch the workshop runtime
