Cargo downloads your Rust project’s dependencies and compiles your project.

Installing cargo

Cargo has nightlies available for use. The cargo source is not always guaranteed to compile on rust master as it may lag behind by a day or two. Nightlies, however, will run regardless of this fact!

$ curl -O http://static.rust-lang.org/cargo-dist/cargo-nightly-linux.tar.gz
$ tar xf cargo-nightly-linux.tar.gz
$ ./cargo-nightly/bin/cargo build

The current nightlies available are:

• cargo-nightly-linux
• cargo-nightly-win
• cargo-nightly-mac

Compiling cargo

You'll want to clone cargo using --recursive on git, to clone in its submodule dependencies.

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo

or

$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Then it's as simple as make followed by make install and you're ready to go.
