Rust

vx supports Rust through rustup and bundled runtimes like cargo/rustc.

Runtime Relationship

Runtime	Role	Recommended Usage
`rustup`	Toolchain manager / installer	`vx rustup ...`
`cargo`	Build, test, dependency management	`vx cargo ...`
`rustc`	Rust compiler	`vx rustc ...`

vx rust is currently an alias to vx rustc. For clarity, prefer vx rustc in docs/scripts.

bash

# Install rustup runtime (recommended)
vx install rustup
vx install rustup@latest

bash

vx cargo --version
vx cargo build --release
vx cargo test
vx cargo run

bash

vx rustc --version
vx rustc main.rs -o main

bash

vx rustup --version
vx rustup toolchain list
vx rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

toml

[tools]
rustup = "latest"

[scripts]
build = "cargo build --release"
test = "cargo test"
lint = "cargo clippy -- -D warnings"
format = "cargo fmt"

rustup version and rustc version are different.

rustup = "1.93.1" is usually invalid (that is a Rust compiler version, not a rustup release).
If you need a specific compiler toolchain, manage it via vx rustup toolchain ... commands.

bash

# Run rust ecosystem packages on demand
vx cargo:ripgrep::rg --version
vx cargo:fd-find::fd .
