# Install and configure rust

Follow the source instructions for **rust**. Read the prerequisites and configuration steps before running an example.

## Quick Start

Read ["Installation"] from [The Book].

["Installation"]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch01-01-installation.html
[The Book]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/index.html

## Installing from Source

If you really want to install from source (though this is not recommended), see
[INSTALL.md](https://github.com/Up-to-code/rust/blob/main/INSTALL.md).

## Check the installation

After setup, continue with the [first example](/docs/up-to-code-rust/quick-start-guide). If a command fails, compare the runtime version, working directory, and required configuration with the original README before changing dependencies.
