## Installing Rust
All we need to do is open a terminal and type this:
All you need to do on Unix systems like Linux and macOS is open a
terminal and type this:
```bash
$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
```
This will download a script, and start the installation. If it all goes well,
you’ll see this appear:

Rust is installed now. Great!
```
Installing on Windows is nearly as easy: download and run
[rustup-init.exe]. It will start the installation in a console and
present the above message on success.
For other installation options and information, visit the [install]
page of the Rust website.

## Uninstalling
Uninstalling Rust is as easy as installing it:

If you do, Rust has been installed successfully! Congrats!
If you don't and you're on Windows, check that Rust is in your %PATH% system
variable: `$ echo %PATH%`. If it isn't, run the installer again, select "Change"
on the "Change, repair, or remove installation" page and ensure "Add to PATH" is
installed on the local hard drive. If you need to configure your path manually,
you can find the Rust executables in a directory like
`"C:\Program Files\Rust stable GNU 1.x\bin"`.
If you don't, that probably means that the `PATH` environment variable
doesn't include Cargo's binary directory, `~/.cargo/bin` on Unix, or
`%USERPROFILE%\.cargo\bin` on Windows. This is the directory where
Rust development tools live, and most Rust developers keep it in their
`PATH` environment variable, which makes it possible to run `rustc` on
the command line. Due to differences in operating systems, command
shells, and bugs in installation, you may need to restart your shell,
log out of the system, or configure `PATH` manually as appropriate for
your operating environment.
Rust does not do its own linking, and so you’ll need to have a linker
installed. Doing so will depend on your specific system. For
