Technical requirements

We are no longer going to be implementing simple single-page applications that do not rely on any third-party dependencies as we did in the first chapter. As a result, you will have to directly install Rust onto your computer. We will also be managing third-party dependencies through Cargo. You can install Rust and Cargo on your computer here: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install.

At the time of writing this, the best integrated development environment (IDE) by far for writing Rust is Visual Studio Code. It has a range of Rust plugins that can help you keep track of and check your Rust code. It can be installed using this link: https://code.visualstudio.com/download.

You can find all the code files in the GitHub repository for this chapter: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Speed-up-your-Python-with-Rust/tree/main/chapter_two.
