Project Setup and Toolchain

Here is the toolchain I used for this development:

•     Rust 1.62.0 installation using rustup: Rust which will install basic Rust tools
• rustc
• cargo
• rustup

•     IDE: VSCode with rust-analyzer extension: VSCode

Create a folder for rust projects such as desktop/rust_projects.

Run VSCode, select File > Open Folder > select rust_projects folder.

Select Terminal > New Terminal

In the terminal window, type cargo --version to verify rust installation:

cargo 1.62.0 (a748cf5a3 2022-06-08)

Type cargo new hello_world

Type cd hello_world

Type cargo run

Verify the program output:

Hello, world!

Congradulations! You just created your first Rust program.

The source code is found in src/main.rs file:

fn main() {

    println!("Hello, world!");

}
