# Installation Guide

1. Get the code

git clone https://github.com/PacktPublishing/The-Complete-Rust-Programming-Reference-Guide

Downloads the entire project code from GitHub to your computer.

cd The-Complete-Rust-Programming-Reference-Guide

Moves into the project folder you just downloaded.

2. Node.js

Easy Recommended

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Node.js Node.js must be installed to use npm. The LTS version is recommended.

⚠️ This is a large repository, so this method may point to an internal sub-package rather than the actual core product. Check the full README as well.

cd Chapter10/native_counter

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

npm install

Downloads and installs the libraries listed in package.json.

npm start

Starts the development/run server.

✅ After running the command, open the address shown in the terminal (usually something like http://localhost:3000) in your browser.

3. Rust

Medium

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Rust (rustup) Installing via rustup also installs cargo.

⚠️ This is a large repository, so this method may point to an internal sub-package rather than the actual core product. Check the full README as well.

cd Chapter02/cargo_manifest_example

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

cargo build --release

Compiles the Rust project.

cargo run

Builds and then immediately runs the program.

✅ If cargo build finishes without errors, it worked. The executable is created under target/.

4. Make

Medium

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Make Usually pre-installed on Linux/macOS. On Windows, install separately (e.g. via MSYS2 or WSL).

⚠️ This is a large repository, so this method may point to an internal sub-package rather than the actual core product. Check the full README as well.

cd Chapter10/rust_from_c

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

make

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.

✅ If it finishes without errors, it worked. Try running the generated executable directly.
