Hi !

Quick post today on how to install rust in a Raspberry Pi, and later create a hello world test app.

Install Rust

I’m starting this with the latest updates for Raspberry Pi OS installed.

The command to install rust is this one:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Check the Rust Lang documentation for more details.

Let’s choose the default installation, this may take a couple of minutes.

And now, we can check the rust and cargo versions with the following commands

rustc --version
cargo --version

Hello World project

Now let’s use cargo to create a new project. I’ll name it “DemoBlogPost”. In the following image, we can check the default contents of the project

• cargo.toml
• src/main.rs

Time to edit the main.rs file. I’m not a VIM user, so it’s nano time.

And now, time to run the project !

Super fun and literally a great way to use a device like a raspberry pi to learn Rust !

Happy coding!

Greetings
