Installing Rust on macOS is simple and efficient using Homebrew, a popular package manager that makes software installation easy and manageable.
Install Homebrew
If you haven't installed Homebrew, follow the official guide at brew.sh.
Install Rust Using Rustup
Once Homebrew is installed, install Rust using Rustup:
brew install rustup
rustup-init
This installs:
- rustc – The Rust compiler
- cargo – The Rust package manager and build tool
- rustup – The Rust toolchain manager
Configure the Environment
Ensure Rust is accessible by refreshing your environment variables:
source ~/.zshenv
Verify Installation
Check if Rust is installed correctly:
rustc --version
Rust is now installed and ready to use on macOS!
