Installation

Note

RustAPI is designed for Rust 1.75 or later.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the Rust toolchain installed. If you haven’t, the best way is via rustup.rs.

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

Installing the CLI

RustAPI comes with a powerful CLI to scaffold projects. Install it directly from crates.io:

cargo install cargo-rustapi

Verify your installation:

cargo rustapi --version

Editor Setup

For the best experience, we recommend VS Code with the rust-analyzer extension. This provides:

  • Real-time error checking
  • Intelligent code completion
  • In-editor documentation
