Greetings and welcome to `rustlings`. This project contains small exercises to get you used to reading and writing Rust code. This includes reading and responding to compiler messages!
2019-02-12 13:11:32 +02:00
_...looking for the old, web-based version of Rustlings? Try [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings/tree/rustlings-1)_
2020-10-02 04:12:24 +02:00
Alternatively, for a first-time Rust learner, there are several other resources:
2019-01-23 22:51:53 +02:00
- [The Book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/index.html) - The most comprehensive resource for learning Rust, but a bit theoretical sometimes. You will be using this along with Rustlings!
2019-01-09 22:02:47 +02:00
- [Rust By Example](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/index.html) - Learn Rust by solving little exercises! It's almost like `rustlings`, but online
2019-01-09 22:02:47 +02:00
## Getting Started
2019-03-06 21:25:27 +02:00
_Note: If you're on MacOS, make sure you've installed Xcode and its developer tools by typing `xcode-select --install`._
_Note: If you're on Linux, make sure you've installed gcc. Deb: `sudo apt install gcc`. Yum: `sudo yum -y install gcc`._
2019-03-06 21:25:27 +02:00
2023-04-14 03:37:19 +02:00
You will need to have Rust installed. You can get it by visiting <https://rustup.rs>. This'll also install Cargo, Rust's package/project manager.
2019-03-06 21:25:27 +02:00
## MacOS/Linux
2019-01-09 22:02:47 +02:00
2019-03-06 21:25:27 +02:00
Just run:
```bash
2023-11-14 16:49:52 +02:00
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rust-lang/rustlings/main/install.sh | bash
```
2023-04-14 03:37:19 +02:00
Or if you want it to be installed to a different path:
```bash
2023-11-14 16:49:52 +02:00
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rust-lang/rustlings/main/install.sh | bash -s mypath/
```
2019-03-06 21:25:27 +02:00
This will install Rustlings and give you access to the `rustlings` command. Run it to get started!
### Nix
2023-02-12 19:01:48 +02:00
Basically: Clone the repository at the latest tag, finally run `nix develop` or `nix-shell`.
```bash
2023-09-18 10:16:05 +02:00
# find out the latest version at https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings/releases/latest (on edit 5.6.1)
git clone -b 5.6.1 --depth 1 https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings
cd rustlings
# if nix version > 2.3
nix develop
# if nix version <= 2.3
nix-shell
```
## Windows
In PowerShell (Run as Administrator), set `ExecutionPolicy` to `RemoteSigned`:
```ps1
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
```
Then, you can run:
```ps1
2023-11-14 16:49:52 +02:00
Start-BitsTransfer -Source https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rust-lang/rustlings/main/install.ps1 -Destination $env:TMP/install_rustlings.ps1; Unblock-File $env:TMP/install_rustlings.ps1; Invoke-Expression $env:TMP/install_rustlings.ps1
```
To install Rustlings. Same as on MacOS/Linux, you will have access to the `rustlings` command after it. Keep in mind that this works best in PowerShell, and any other terminals may give you errors.
2022-07-15 13:22:29 +02:00
If you get a permission denied message, you might have to exclude the directory where you cloned Rustlings in your antivirus.

## Manually
2019-02-14 21:20:51 +02:00
Basically: Clone the repository at the latest tag, run `cargo install --path .`.
```bash
2023-09-18 10:16:05 +02:00
# find out the latest version at https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings/releases/latest (on edit 5.6.1)
git clone -b 5.6.1 --depth 1 https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings
2019-03-06 21:25:27 +02:00
cd rustlings
cargo install --force --path .
```
2019-08-03 08:26:51 +02:00
If there are installation errors, ensure that your toolchain is up to date. For the latest, run:
2022-03-29 15:04:52 +02:00
2019-08-03 08:26:51 +02:00
```bash
rustup update
```
Then, same as above, run `rustlings` to get started.
## Doing exercises
2019-08-03 08:26:51 +02:00
The exercises are sorted by topic and can be found in the subdirectory `rustlings/exercises/<topic>`. For every topic there is an additional README file with some resources to get you started on the topic. We really recommend that you have a look at them before you start.
2020-10-02 04:12:24 +02:00
The task is simple. Most exercises contain an error that keeps them from compiling, and it's up to you to fix it! Some exercises are also run as tests, but rustlings handles them all the same. To run the exercises in the recommended order, execute:
2019-01-23 22:36:08 +02:00
```bash
rustlings watch
2019-01-23 22:36:08 +02:00
```
This will try to verify the completion of every exercise in a predetermined order (what we think is best for newcomers). It will also rerun automatically every time you change a file in the `exercises/` directory. If you want to only run it once, you can use:
2019-01-23 22:36:08 +02:00
```bash
rustlings verify
2019-01-23 22:36:08 +02:00
```
This will do the same as watch, but it'll quit after running.
2019-01-23 22:36:08 +02:00
In case you want to go by your own order, or want to only verify a single exercise, you can run:
2019-01-23 22:36:08 +02:00
```bash
2019-11-11 19:02:56 +02:00
rustlings run myExercise1
2019-01-23 22:36:08 +02:00
```
Or simply use the following command to run the next unsolved exercise in the course:
```bash
rustlings run next
```
2019-11-11 19:02:56 +02:00
In case you get stuck, you can run the following command to get a hint for your
exercise:
2022-03-29 15:04:52 +02:00
```bash
2019-11-11 19:02:56 +02:00
rustlings hint myExercise1
```
You can also get the hint for the next unsolved exercise with the following command:
2022-03-29 15:04:52 +02:00
```bash
rustlings hint next
```
To check your progress, you can run the following command:
2022-03-29 15:04:52 +02:00
```bash
rustlings list
```
2019-01-23 22:36:08 +02:00
## Testing yourself
After every couple of sections, there will be a quiz that'll test your knowledge on a bunch of sections at once. These quizzes are found in `exercises/quizN.rs`.
2019-01-23 22:36:08 +02:00
## Enabling `rust-analyzer`
2022-11-11 17:12:09 +02:00
Run the command `rustlings lsp` which will generate a `rust-project.json` at the root of the project, this allows [rust-analyzer](https://rust-analyzer.github.io/) to parse each exercise.
## 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, there are two steps. First, you'll need to remove the exercises folder that the install script created
for you:
2022-03-29 15:04:52 +02:00
```bash
rm -rf rustlings # or your custom folder name, if you chose and or renamed it
```
Second, run `cargo uninstall` to remove the `rustlings` binary:
2022-03-29 15:04:52 +02:00
```bash
cargo uninstall rustlings
```
Now you should be done!
