Install [Rust](/lang/rust) with [Rustup](/lang/rust/Rustup).
```bash
if [ ! -d ~/.cargo ]; then
  curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
  . /home/john/.cargo/env
fi
cargo install sccache                                                                                                    
```
my `cargo init` script is
```bash
[ ! -d ~/.cargo ] && return # do nothing unless rust is installed
.if . "$HOME/.cargo/env"
if [ -x "$(which sccache 2>&1)" ]; then
  export RUSTC_WRAPPER=$(which sccache)
fi
cargoi() { cargo install; }
pathif -a "$HOME/.local/share/bob/nvim-bin"
rustbook() { rustup docs --book; }
```
If you're wondering why I don't use an alias for `cargoi` but define it as a function instead,
consider what happens if I try to override it with a function definition (the alias will
be expanded so that `cargoi() { ... }` will become `cargo install() { ... }` which will
then try to run `cargo` rather than defining a function, so I'd need a script like the one
below to first check if `cargoi` was an alias, and if so unalias it, and *then* define
the function. It's easier to just make most things functions instead of aliases.)

## Oxidise
This list largely comes from [Tris](https://www.youtube.com/@NoBoilerplate) video [Oxidise Your Life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFkGNe4oaKk&t=1s&pp=ygUXbm8gYm9pbGVyIHBsYXRlIG94aWRpc2U%3D).
Fedora has slightly different prerequisites.
```bash
dnf install openssl-devel
dnf install alsa-lib-devel
dnf install perl-FindBin
dnf install perl-File-Compare
```
Then my installer script for it all:
```bash
cargoi() {
  for s; do
    cargo install "$s" 2>&1 | tee ~/usersetup/cargo-install-${s}.log
  done
}
cargoi coreutils       #
cargoi starship        # cross-shell advanced prompt
cargoi exa             # ls replacement
cargoi du-dust         # du replacement
cargoi bat             # cat replacement
cargoi zellij          #
cargoi mprocs          #
cargoi ripgrep         # grep replacement
cargoi bob-nvim        # nvim version manager
cargoi gitui           #
cargoi irust           # ipython-like interactive
cargoi evcxr_jupyter   #
cargoi bacon           # 
cargoi cargo-info      #
cargoi porsmo          #
cargoi wiki-tui        # wikipedia without a browser
cargoi rtx-cli         #
cargoi nu              # modern shell
cargoi tree-sitter-cli
```
Also `rust-analyzer` is useful, but it is a library so has to be added to a project via `Cargo.toml`.
