cargo

Manage Rust projects and their module dependencies (crates). Some subcommands such as build have their own usage documentation. More information: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo.

• Search for crates:

cargo search search_string

• Install a binary crate:

cargo install crate_name

• List installed binary crates:

cargo install --list

• Create a new binary or library Rust project in the specified directory (or the current working directory by default):

cargo init --bin|lib path/to/directory

• Add a dependency to Cargo.toml in the current directory:

cargo add dependency

• Build the Rust project in the current directory using the release profile:

cargo build --release

• Build the Rust project in the current directory using the nightly compiler (requires rustup):

cargo +nightly build

• Build using a specific number of threads (default is the number of logical CPUs):

cargo build --jobs number_of_threads
