Rust is the system programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety. In other words, Rust is designed for speed, safety, and concurrently. You can use Rust to build the system level software. But, nowadays developers are crazy and use language other than it was intended like JavaScript.
Rustup is the recommended way to install the Rust on the computer. The installation steps are quite easy. Because of that, I do not plan to re-write steps again here. Go ahead and visit Install page to install the Rust on the computer.
After the installation is done, we'll get rustc or Rust compiler, cargo as package manager and build system, and rustup to manage Rust and related toolchain.
$ rustc --version
rustc 1.66.0 (69f9c33d7 2022-12-12)
$ cargo --version
cargo 1.66.0 (d65d197ad 2022-11-15)
$ rustup --version
rustup 1.25.1 (bb60b1e89 2022-07-12)
info: This is the version for the rustup toolchain manager, not the rustc compiler.
info: The currently active `rustc` version is `rustc 1.66.0 (69f9c33d7 2022-12-12)`
