Welcome to Rust_Intro, your gateway to learning Rust! This guide will walk you through the process of installing Rust, setting up your initial projects, and provide step-by-step instructions for understanding the basics of Rust programming.

Start your Rust journey by installing Rust on your system. Visit Rust's official website and follow the installation instructions. The images below illustrate the installation process:

Once the installation is complete, you'll find a new terminal pop-up. If not, run the executable manually. The image below demonstrates this process:

Let's dive into creating your first Rust project. Open a new terminal, navigate to your desired working directory, and execute the following commands:

• Navigate back: cd..
• Change to a specific path: cd /c:/path
• List files and directories: dir
• Change to a different drive: E:

• Navigate back: cd ..
• Change to a specific path: cd /path
• List files and directories: ls

Now, create a new project named "hello" by typing:

cargo new hello

Enter the project directory with:

cd hello

Run the project:

cargo run

Your terminal should display "Hello, world!" as the output:

1. Cargo: Think of it as Rust's package manager, similar to Pip for Python or npm for JavaScript. But Cargo is more—it's also the build system, test runner, docs generator, and more. Check the version with:

cargo --version

2. Hello, world! Code: You'll find the code responsible for printing "Hello, world!" in hello/src/main.rs.

Let's now go to the hello repo and continue with this first project.
