Cargo downloads your Rust project’s dependencies and compiles your project.

Installing cargo from nightlies

Cargo has nightlies available for use. The cargo source is not always guaranteed to compile on rust master as it may lag behind by a day or two. Nightlies, however, will run regardless of this fact!

triple=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
curl -O https://static.rust-lang.org/cargo-dist/cargo-nightly-$triple.tar.gz
tar xf cargo-nightly-$triple.tar.gz
./cargo-nightly-$triple/install.sh

Nightlies are available for the following triples:

Note that if you're using the windows snapshot you will need Mingw-w64 installed as well as MSYS. The installation script needs to be run inside the MSYS shell.

Compiling cargo

Cargo requires the following tools and packages to build:

  • rustc
  • python
  • curl or wget
  • cmake
  • pkg-config
  • OpenSSL headers (libssl-dev package on ubuntu)

Cargo can then be compiled like many other standard unix-like projects:

git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo
cd cargo
./configure
make
make install

More options can be discovered through ./configure, such as compiling cargo for more than one target. For example, if you'd like to compile both 32 and 64 bit versions of cargo on unix you would use:

$ ./configure --target=i686-unknown-linux-gnu,x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
