# 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 gcc`.
|
|
> Dnf: `sudo dnf install gcc`.
|
|
|
|
> 🍎 If you're on MacOS, make sure you've installed Xcode and its developer tools by running `xcode-select --install`.
|
|
|
|
### Installing Rustlings
|
|
|
|
The following command will download and compile Rustlings:
|
|
|
|
<!-- TODO: Remove @6.0.0-beta.x -->
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo install rustlings@6.0.0-beta.5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary><strong>If the installation fails…</strong> (<em>click to expand</em>)</summary>
|
|
|
|
<!-- TODO: Remove @6.0.0-beta.x -->
|
|
|
|
- Make sure you have the latest Rust version by running `rustup update`
|
|
- Try adding the `--locked` flag: `cargo install rustlings@6.0.0-beta.5 --locked`
|
|
- Otherwise, please [report the issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings/issues/new)
|
|
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
### Initialization
|
|
|
|
After installing Rustlings, run the following command to initialize the `rustlings/` directory:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rustlings init
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now, go into the newly initialized directory and launch 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 `exercises/<topic>`.
|
|
For every topic, there is an additional `README.md` file with some resources to get you started on the topic.
|
|
We highly recommend that you have a look at them before you start 📚️
|
|
|
|
Most exercises contain an error that keeps them from compiling, and it's up to you to fix it!
|
|
Some exercises contain tests that need to pass for the exercise to be done ✅
|
|
|
|
### Watch Mode
|
|
|
|
After [initialization](#initialization), Rustlings can be launched by simply running the command `rustlings`.
|
|
|
|
This will start the _watch mode_ which walks you through the exercises in a predefined order (what we think is best for newcomers).
|
|
It will rerun the current exercise automatically every time you change the exercise's file in the `exercises/` directory.
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary><strong>If detecting file changes in the <code>exercises/</code> directory fails…</strong> (<em>click to expand</em>)</summary>
|
|
|
|
> You can add the **`--manual-run`** flag (`rustlings --manual-run`) to manually rerun the current exercise by entering `r` (or `run`) in the watch mode.
|
|
>
|
|
> Please [report the issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings/issues/new) with some information about your operating system and whether you run Rustlings in a container or virtual machine (e.g. WSL).
|
|
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
### Exercise List
|
|
|
|
In the [watch mode](#watch-mode) (after launching `rustlings`), you can enter `l` (or `list`) to open the interactive exercise list.
|
|
|
|
The list allows you to…
|
|
|
|
- See the status of all exercises (done or pending)
|
|
- `c`: Continue at another exercise (temporarily skip some exercises or go back to a previous one)
|
|
- `r`: Reset status and file of an exercise (you need to _reload/reopen_ its file in your editor afterwards)
|
|
|
|
See the footer of the list for all possible keys.
|
|
|
|
## 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, run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo uninstall rustlings
|
|
```
