|
||||
## Getting Started
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing Rust
|
||||
|
||||
Before installing Rustlings, you need to have the **latest version of Rust** installed.
|
||||
Visit [www.rust-lang.org/tools/install](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) for further instructions on installing Rust.
|
||||
This will also install _Cargo_, Rust's package/project manager.
|
||||
|
||||
> 🐧 If you are on Linux, make sure you have installed `gcc` (for a linker).
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Deb: `sudo apt install gcc`
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Dnf: `sudo dnf install gcc`
|
||||
|
||||
> 🍎 If you are on MacOS, make sure you have installed Xcode and its developer tools by running `xcode-select --install`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing Rustlings
|
||||
|
||||
The following command will download and compile Rustlings:
|
||||
## Quick start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Installation
|
||||
cargo install rustlings
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
<details>
|
||||
<summary><strong>If the installation fails…</strong> (<em>click to expand</em>)</summary>
|
||||
|
||||
- Make sure you have the latest Rust version by running `rustup update`
|
||||
- Try adding the `--locked` flag: `cargo install rustlings --locked`
|
||||
- Otherwise, please [report the issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings/issues/new)
|
||||
|
||||
</details>
|
||||
|
||||
### Initialization
|
||||
|
||||
After installing Rustlings, run the following command to initialize the `rustlings/` directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Initialization
|
||||
rustlings init
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
<details>
|
||||
<summary><strong>If the command <code>rustlings</code> can't be found…</strong> (<em>click to expand</em>)</summary>
|
||||
|
||||
You are probably using Linux and installed Rust using your package manager.
|
||||
|
||||
Cargo installs binaries to the directory `~/.cargo/bin`.
|
||||
Sadly, package managers often don't add `~/.cargo/bin` to your `PATH` environment variable.
|
||||
|
||||
The solution is to …
|
||||
|
||||
- either add `~/.cargo/bin` manually to `PATH`
|
||||
- or to uninstall Rust from the package manager and install it using the official way with `rustup`: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
|
||||
|
||||
</details>
|
||||
|
||||
Now, go into the newly initialized directory and launch Rustlings for further instructions on getting started with the exercises:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd rustlings/
|
||||
# Moving into new directory
|
||||
cd rustlings
|
||||
# Starting Rustlings
|
||||
rustlings
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Working environment
|
||||
|
||||
### Editor
|
||||
|
||||
Our general recommendation is [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) with the [rust-analyzer plugin](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rust-lang.rust-analyzer).
|
||||
But any editor that supports [rust-analyzer](https://rust-analyzer.github.io/) should be enough for working on the exercises.
|
||||
|
||||
### Terminal
|
||||
|
||||
While working with Rustlings, please use a modern terminal for the best user experience.
|
||||
The default terminal on Linux and Mac should be sufficient.
|
||||
On Windows, we recommend the [Windows Terminal](https://aka.ms/terminal).
|
||||
|
||||
## Doing exercises
|
||||
|
||||
The exercises are sorted by topic and can be found in the subdirectory `exercises/<topic>`.
|
||||
For every topic, there is an additional `README.md` file with some resources to get you started on the topic.
|
||||
We highly recommend that you have a look at them before you start 📚️
|
||||
|
||||
Most exercises contain an error that keeps them from compiling, and it's up to you to fix it!
|
||||
Some exercises contain tests that need to pass for the exercise to be done ✅
|
||||
|
||||
Search for `TODO` and `todo!()` to find out what you need to change.
|
||||
Ask for hints by entering `h` in the _watch mode_ 💡
|
||||
|
||||
### Watch Mode
|
||||
|
||||
After the [initialization](#initialization), Rustlings can be launched by simply running the command `rustlings`.
|
||||
|
||||
This will start the _watch mode_ which walks you through the exercises in a predefined order (what we think is best for newcomers).
|
||||
It will rerun the current exercise automatically every time you change the exercise's file in the `exercises/` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
<details>
|
||||
<summary><strong>If detecting file changes in the <code>exercises/</code> directory fails…</strong> (<em>click to expand</em>)</summary>
|
||||
|
||||
> You can add the **`--manual-run`** flag (`rustlings --manual-run`) to manually rerun the current exercise by entering `r` in the watch mode.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Please [report the issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings/issues/new) with some information about your operating system and whether you run Rustlings in a container or virtual machine (e.g. WSL).
|
||||
|
||||
</details>
|
||||
|
||||
### Exercise List
|
||||
|
||||
In the [watch mode](#watch-mode) (after launching `rustlings`), you can enter `l` to open the interactive exercise list.
|
||||
|
||||
The list allows you to…
|
||||
|
||||
- See the status of all exercises (done or pending)
|
||||
- `c`: Continue at another exercise (temporarily skip some exercises or go back to a previous one)
|
||||
- `r`: Reset status and file of the selected exercise (you need to _reload/reopen_ its file in your editor afterwards)
|
||||
|
||||
See the footer of the list for all possible keys.
|
||||
|
||||
## Questions?
|
||||
|
||||
If you need any help while doing the exercises and the builtin-hints aren't helpful, feel free to ask in the [_Q&A_ category of the discussions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings/discussions/categories/q-a?discussions_q=) if your question wasn't asked yet 💡
|
||||
|
||||
## Continuing On
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've completed Rustlings, put your new knowledge to good use!
|
||||
Continue practicing your Rust skills by building your own projects, contributing to Rustlings, or finding other open-source projects to contribute to.
|
||||
|
||||
## Uninstalling Rustlings
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to remove Rustlings from your system, run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo uninstall rustlings
|
||||
```
|
||||
