Cargo downloads your Rust project’s dependencies and compiles your project.

Learn more at http://doc.crates.io/

Cargo is distributed by default with Rust, so if you've got rustc installed locally you probably also have cargo installed locally.

Cargo requires the following tools and packages to build:

• python
• curl (on Unix)
• cmake
• OpenSSL headers (only for Unix, this is the libssl-dev package on ubuntu)
• cargo and rustc

First, you'll want to check out this repository

git clone --recursive https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo
cd cargo

With cargo already installed, you can simply run:

cargo build --release

Otherwise, you can also use a more traditional approach:

./configure
make
make install

More options can be discovered through ./configure, such as compiling cargo for more than one target. For example, if you'd like to compile both 32 and 64 bit versions of cargo on unix you would use:

$ ./configure --target=i686-unknown-linux-gnu,x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

To run cargo's tests, use cargo test. If you do not have the cross-compilers installed locally, ignore the cross-compile test failures, or disable them by using CFG_DISABLE_CROSS_TESTS=1 cargo test.

Cargo is designed to be extensible with new subcommands without having to modify Cargo itself. See the Wiki page for more details and a list of known community-developed subcommands.

To contribute to the docs, all you need to do is change the markdown files in the src/doc directory. To view the rendered version of changes you have made locally, run:

./configure
make doc
open target/doc/index.html

High level release notes are available as part of Rust's release notes. Cargo releases coincide with Rust releases.
