Documentation

For most projects, you will be using the nix crate. The documentation for the specific version of the crate you will be using can be found at https://rust.cs.vt.edu/docs/nix/.

Installation

1. Install Rust: Follow the instructions on https://rustup.rs/.

   If you want to develop on rlogin, make sure to follow the instructions for Unix systems. You may find that there is already an existing Rust install, but you should install a local version. Reply yes to the prompt to ignore the existing installation of Rust.

   To confirm that you have successfully installed Rust locally on rlogin, run the following:

   $ which {rustup,cargo,rustc}
   # The binaries should be in your home directory
   ~/.cargo/bin/rustup
   ~/.cargo/bin/cargo
   ~/.cargo/bin/rustc
   
   
   

2. Setup SSH keys for rlogin.

3. Set up VSCode for Rust development.

   • Connect to rlogin through SSH

   • Install the rust-analyzer extension

     Make sure the button says “Install in SSH”

OR

3. Set up Neovim for Rust develpoment.

   • Connect to rlogin through SSH in the terminal
   • Install rust-analyzer through rustup component add rust-analyzer
   • Navigate to ~/.config
   • Clone the provided starter configuration:

   $ git clone https://git.cs.vt.edu/cs3984-systems-rust/nvim.git
   
   
   

   It is recommended that you are at least familiar with the basics of Vim/Neovim before committing to this option.
