Cargo downloads your Rust project’s dependencies and compiles your project.
To start using Cargo, learn more at The Cargo Book.
To start developing Cargo itself, read the Cargo Contributor Guide.
Code documentation: https://docs.rs/cargo/
Cargo is distributed by default with Rust, so if you've got rustc installed
locally you probably also have cargo installed locally.
Cargo requires the following tools and packages to build:
gitcurl(on Unix)pkg-config(on Unix, used to figure out thelibsslheaders/libraries)- OpenSSL headers (only for Unix, this is the
libssl-devpackage on ubuntu) cargoandrustc
First, you'll want to check out this repository
git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo
cd cargo
With cargo already installed, you can simply run:
cargo build --release
Cargo is designed to be extensible with new subcommands without having to modify Cargo itself. See the Wiki page for more details and a list of known community-developed subcommands.
Cargo releases coincide with Rust releases. High level release notes are available as part of Rust's release notes. Detailed release notes are available in this repo at CHANGELOG.md.
