# Rustlings 🦀❤️
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
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!
|
||
|
||
It is recommended to do the Rustlings exercises in parallel to reading [the official Rust book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/), the most comprehensive resource for learning Rust 📚️
|
||
|
||
[Rust By Example](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/) is another recommended resource that you might find helpful.
|
||
It contains code examples and exercises similar to Rustlings, but online.
|
||
|
||
## Getting Started
|
||
|
||
### Installing Rust
|
||
|
||
Before installing Rustlings, you need to have _Rust installed_.
|
||
Visit [www.rust-lang.org/tools/install](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) for further instructions on installing Rust.
|
||
This'll also install _Cargo_, Rust's package/project manager.
|
||
|
||
🐧 If you're on Linux, make sure you've installed `gcc` (for a linker). Deb: `sudo apt install build-essential gcc`. Dnf: `sudo dnf install gcc`.
|
||
|
||
🍎 If you're on MacOS, make sure you've installed Xcode and its developer tools by typing `xcode-select --install`.
|
||
|
||
### Installing Rustlings
|
||
|
||
The following command will download and compile Rustlings:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cargo install rustlings --locked
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Initialization
|
||
|
||
After installing Rustlings, run the following command to initialize the `rustlings/` directory:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
rustlings init
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Now, go into the newly initialized directory and run Rustlings for further instructions on getting started with the exercises:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd rustlings/
|
||
rustlings
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Doing exercises
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
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:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
rustlings
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
In case you want to go by your own order, or want to only verify a single exercise, you can run:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
rustlings run EXERCISE_NAME
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Or simply use the following command to run the next pending exercise in the course:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
rustlings run
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
In case you get stuck, you can run the following command to get a hint for your exercise:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
rustlings hint EXERCISE_NAME
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can also get the hint for the next pending exercise with the following command:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
rustlings hint
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Continuing On
|
||
|
||
<!-- TODO: Mention third-party exercises -->
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
1️⃣ Remove the `rustlings` directory that was created by `rustlings init`:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
rm -r rustlings
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2️⃣ Run `cargo uninstall` to remove the `rustlings` binary:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cargo uninstall rustlings
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
That's it!
