Small exercises to get you used to reading and writing [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org) code - _Recommended in parallel to reading [the official Rust book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book) 📚_

## 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
```
