#289 Rust for MacOS
Getting rust running under MacOS
Notes
There are at least four methods:
- binary installation - see Rust Downloads
- shell installation - see Rust Downloads
- Homebrew
- source compilation - see GitHub repo
- rustup installer
brew
I use homebrew to manage most of my software installation, so I’ll use that.
