Technical requirements

First, we must get our system ready with the required installations.

The most recommended operating systems to work with Rust are Ubuntu and macOS. You can also install Rust on Windows and work with it but you may run into issues in slightly more advanced and complex programs. If you’re on Windows, the most recommended way to go is using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL-2), which enables you to work with Ubuntu inside Windows.

Windows installation

For Windows systems, you can directly download the installer from the official Rust website (https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install).

To set up Rust on your Windows system, you can follow the instructions provided on the Windows development environment web page (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-environment/rust/setup).
