Welcome!
The easiest way to install the compiler will be to download the binaries
here:
http://www.rust-lang.org/install.html .
Prefer the "Nightly" binaries and not the 0.10 binaries. Unzip the download
and run the "install.sh" script inside.
If you're using Linux, you can do the above steps using the following
command:
wget
http://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz&&;
tar xvf rust-nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz && cd
rust-nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/ && sudo ./install.sh
This will give you a copy of the compiler to play around with. Test it out
like this:
rustc --help
Compile and run the "hello world" program:
echo 'fn main() { println!("Hello, Ricardo!"); }' | rustc -o hello '-'
&& ./hello
Compile (but not run) a program from a file:
rustc foo.rs
Read the tutorial to get started:
http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/tutorial.html
Then join the IRC channel to ask questions:
http://chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.mozilla.org&channel=%23rust
And once you're ready to start working on the compiler itself, here's how
you can compile it from the source code:
git clone https://github.com/mozilla/rust.git && cd rust && ./configure
&& make install
Good luck! :)
