This article will take you through how to install Rust on Rocky Linux 9. Rust is a general-purpose programming language with a focus on performance, type safety, and concurrency. Rust enforces memory safety, which means that all references point to valid memory without the use of a garbage collector or reference counting, both of which are required in other memory-safe languages.

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"
- Next, activate the Rust environment on Rocky Linux 9.
source ~/.profilesource ~/.cargo/env- Check the Rust version that is installed on your system.
rustc -V- Use the following command to add rust compiler to Rocky Linux.
sudo dnf install rustcSample Rust Application
- Create a directory to store your application files.
mkdir myproject- Navigate to the created directory.
cd myproject- Next, create a sample app using the following command.
sudo nano helloguys.rsPaste the code below then save(ctrl+s) and close(ctrl+x) the file.
fn main() {
println!("Hello from itnixpro.com!");
}- Compile the created application above.
rustc helloguys.rs- After compiling run it using the following command.
./helloguysUpdate Rust on Rocky Linux
- Use the command below to update Rust.
rustup updateUninstall Rust on Rocky Linux
- Remove Rust on your system by running the command below.
rustup self uninstall- You have made it to the end of our tutorial, we have gone through how to install Rust on Rocky Linux 9. Cheers!
