The Rust ecosystem consists of a number of tools, of which the main ones are:
|
||||
|
||||
* `rustc`: the Rust compiler which turns `.rs` files into binaries and other
|
||||
intermediate formats.

|

* `cargo`: the Rust dependency manager and build tool. Cargo knows how to
|
||||
download dependencies hosted on <https://crates.io> and it will pass them to
|
||||
`rustc` when building your project. Cargo also comes with a built-in test
|
||||
runner which is used to execute unit tests.

* `rustup`: the Rust toolchain installer and updater. This tool is used to
|

install and update `rustc` and `cargo` when new versions of Rust is released.

[^rustc]: Please note, it is quite rare to ever use the compiler directly not through `cargo`.
|

|

[^cargo]: Cargo itself is a powerful and comprehensive tool capable of many advanced features including but not limited to: Project structure, [workspaces](https://doc.rust*lang.org/cargo/reference/workspaces.html), dev dependencies, [build scripting](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html), [binary installation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-install.html), etc. It is extensible with sub command plugins as well (such as [cargo clippy](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy) or [cargo binstall](https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall)).
