A rustup equivalent for Windows using Powershell
Rust's installer now installs Cargo along with it. If you wanted to use this script just for that reason, it's no longer necessary.
This is an attempt to provide a rustup.sh equivalent for Windows. rustup.ps1 will download the latest Windows Rust and Cargo binaries, run the Rust installer, and then places cargo.exe in the Rust's bin directory.
The script is designed to work on any Windows with Powershell 2.0, but is currently only confirmed on the following:
- Windows 7 64-bit.
- Windows 8.1 64-bit.
The one liner:
Start-BitsTransfer "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Fireforge/rustup-powershell/master/rustup.ps1" "rustup.ps1" ; .\rustup.ps1
The script is still very fresh, please report bugs!
If you get the message "rustup.ps1 cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system."
Powershell has security restrictions on running scripts, especially scripts from the internet. So before you can run it, you might have to enter one of the following command in a Powershell with Admin privileges.
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned or Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
WARNING: This may introduce security risks! Use this only if you trust this script won't attack your computer.
To keep yourself safe from accidentally running evil scripts later on, run this when you're done with rustup.ps1
Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned
