Software stack¶

Local installation¶
If you need more recent version of Rust than the one in the DelftBlue software stack, it is very easy to install this locally. The only thing to be aware of is the destination folders of installation. As the space in your /home directory is limited, it is recommended to install it in the /scratch folder.
Before you start with the following steps make sure you unload the rust-module:
First, export the destination directories:
and add these two lines also to your .bashrc (or your preferred profile file) so the environment variables will be set at every login.
Second, install Rust as usual:
[<netid>@login01 scratch]$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
info: downloading installer
Welcome to Rust!
This will download and install the official compiler for the Rust
programming language, and its package manager, Cargo.
Rustup metadata and toolchains will be installed into the Rustup
home directory, located at:
/scratch/<netid>/.rustup
This can be modified with the RUSTUP_HOME environment variable.
The Cargo home directory located at:
/scratch/<netid>/.cargo
This can be modified with the CARGO_HOME environment variable.
The cargo, rustc, rustup and other commands will be added to
Cargo's bin directory, located at:
/scratch/<netid>/.cargo/bin
This path will then be added to your PATH environment variable by
modifying the profile files located at:
/home/<netid>/.profile
/home/<netid>/.bash_profile
/home/<netid>/.bashrc
You can uninstall at any time with rustup self uninstall and
these changes will be reverted.

Rust is installed now. Great!
To get started you may need to restart your current shell.
This would reload your PATH environment variable to include
Cargo's bin directory (/scratch/<netid>/.cargo/bin).
To configure your current shell, run:
source /scratch/<netid>/.cargo/env
Finally, we can source the configuration file and run Rust:
[<netid>@login01 scratch]$ source /scratch/<netid>/.cargo/env
[<netid>@login01 scratch]$ rustc --version
rustc 1.61.0 (fe5b13d68 2022-05-18)
