# Rust 1.29.2
# ===========
# Info about installing Rust via rustup:
#
# Assuming you trust that the devlopers are not evildoers and the process
# will not mess anything up on your system...  The easiest, simplest way of
# installing it is by using rustup.  It can also keep it updated for you.
# curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
#
# With rustup, programs go in ~/.cargo/bin
# It modifies ~/.profile to add that to PATH
#
# To uninstall a rustup-installed Rust: rustup self uninstall
#
# I installed it from source below to see how that goes, then removed
# that and used the rustup method instead (so I may not update this HOWTO
# again any time soon).  The process could be hours to compile it vs
# 1 minute to download and auto-install it.

# Below we cover installing it manually from source, but even then, you're
# running a Python script that downloads a tarball, then you maybe clone
# something with Git... so, far from manual

# Prerequisites:
# Python 2.7 (not 3.x)
# CMake >= 3.4.3
# curl
# Git

# See the Rust site for documentation, user forum, IRC, ...

# Here is some info about What x.py is (used to build and install below):
# https://forge.rust-lang.org/x-py.html
