Rust setup

More often than one might expect, I find myself setting up a new environment for rust development.
Here are some things that I end up doing repeatedly.

Summary

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
cargo install cargo-watch

sudo apt install libpq-dev
cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres

cargo install mdbook

rustup

Get rustup to manage rust language versions.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

https://rustup.rs/

cargo watch

Install cargo-watch for rapid feedback while iterating.

cargo install cargo-watch

diesel

Install the diesel client for database management. (Here requiring postgres only)

sudo apt install libpq-dev
cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres

mdbook

I like to write books using mdbook, so I install that everywhere as well.

cargo install mdbook
