rustup - The Rust Language installer1.29.2

rustup - The Rust Language installer installs Rust compiler toolchains on Linux, giving developers a managed way to obtain the compiler versions their projects need. Published by Canonical in the Developer Tools category, it runs with snapd on x86_64 (amd64) systems.

It provides Rust toolchains through the stable, beta, and nightly channels, covering regular releases, preview releases, and actively developing compiler versions. Developers can change the selected channel when a project or development task depends on a different Rust release.

rustup also keeps the toolchains already installed on the system updated over time. Its bundled binary builds of Rust’s standard library for common platforms support cross-compilation when Rust software is being prepared for another target.

The tool is intended for Rust developers maintaining projects with different compiler requirements, testing upcoming language changes, or building software for other platforms. Version 1.29.2 is open-source software, though the Rust Foundation and its affiliates do not maintain, endorse, or support this Snap package.
