This article will take you through how to install Rust on Ubuntu 22.04. Rust is a multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language that emphasizes performance, type safety, and concurrency. It guarantees memory safety, which means that all references must point to valid memory, without using a garbage collector or reference counting, which are necessary for 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"
- After the installation, activate the Rust environment using the commands below.
source ~/.profilesource ~/.cargo/env- Next, add the rust compiler to your system using the command below.
sudo apt install rustc- You can check the version of Rust installed using the command below.
rustc -VSample Rust application
- Create a directory for the sample application.
sudo mkdir ~/demo-project- Navigate to the created directory using the command below.
cd ~/demo-project- Then create a sample app using the following command.
sudo nano hellodemo.rs- Paste the code below into the file created above then save(ctrl+s) and close(ctrl+x) the file.
fn main() {
println!("Hello from itnixpro.com");
}- Next, compile the sample app using the following command.
rustc hellodemo.rs- To run the compiled program, use the command below.
./hellodemoUpdate Rust on Ubuntu 22.04
- Run the command below to update the Rust programming language.
rustup updateUninstall Rust on Ubuntu 22.04
- Use the following command to remove Rust from your system.
rustup self uninstallSample output
Thanks for hacking in Rust! This will uninstall all Rust toolchains and data, and remove $HOME/.cargo/bin from your PATH environment variable. Continue? (y/N) y info: removing rustup home info: removing cargo home info: removing rustup binaries info: rustup is uninstalled
- That marks the end of our article, we have gone through how to install Rust on Ubuntu 22.04.
