 Crust of Rust by Jon Gjengset

a cleaner rust install on macos 12.7 Monterey

 Install Rust on macos

 curl –proto ‘=https’ –tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

 

The install (see above) is as easy as the official site (https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) says.   So why don't I like it?

Well I know I would have to:

1. examine the script and try to figure out what it was doing
2. write a note to myself about some directory paths
3. review above note to uninstall 
4. leave behind a bunch of left over files
   

Instructions

macport is the package manager I use.

download and install macports from macports.org

A how to for homebrew users.

You don't need xcode but you will need the tools.  Launch terminal and enter these commands:

xcode-select --install

sudo port install rust

sudo port install cargo

 

cd /opt/local/bin 

./rustc --version
rustc 1.77.1 (7cf61ebde 2024-03-27) (built from a source tarball)
 

Success you have installed rust!
