This guide will take you through how to install Rust on Fedora 36. Rust is a general-purpose programming language with a focus on performance, type safety, and concurrency. Rust ensures memory safety, so all references point to usable memory without the need for a garbage collector or reference counting, both of which are necessary for other memory-safe languages.
How to Install Rust on Fedora 36
- Update your system packages using the command below.

Rust is installed now. Great!
To get started you may need to restart your current shell.
This would reload your PATH environment variable to include
Cargo's bin directory ($HOME/.cargo/bin).
To configure your current shell, run:
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
- After Rust installation, activate its environment using the commands below.
source ~/.profilesource ~/.cargo/env- To check the version of Rust version installed on your system run the following command.
rustc -V- Next, add the rust compiler to Fedora.
sudo dnf install rustcSample Rust Application
- Run the command below to create a directory for your demo app.
mkdir Sampleproject- Go to the directory above.
cd Sampleproject- Let’s create the demo app using the following command.
sudo nano helloguys.rs- Copy code below then save(ctrl+s) and close(ctrl+x) the file.
fn main() {
println!("Hello from itnixpro.com!");
}- Next, compile the created app using the command below.
rustc helloguys.rs- Run the compiled app using the following command.
./helloguysUpdate Rust on Fedora 36
- Update Rust by running the command below.
rustup updateUninstall Rust on Fedora 36
- To remove Rust run the command below.
rustup self uninstall- That concludes our article, we have gone through how to install Rust on Fedora 36.
