Setting Up

Local Rust installation

You should have a Rust compiler installed that supports the 2024 edition of the language, which is any version of rustc higher than 1.84.

console
$ rustc --version 
rustc 1.87
<!-- TODO (tim): Adding this for later while I'm here. TODO (tim): We should be able to avoid this by just relying on the `cc` crate We recommend that you install the [Bazel build system](https://bazel.build/install). This will allow you to easily compile projects that combine multiple languages. -->

(Optional) Create a local instance of the course

console
$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/google/comprehensive-rust.git
Cloning into 'comprehensive-rust'...
...
$ cd comprehensive-rust
$ cargo install-tools
...
$ cargo serve # then open http://127.0.0.1:3000/ in a browser

Ask everyone to confirm that everyone is able to execute rustc with a version newer than 1.87.

For those people who do not, tell them that we'll resolve that in the break.
