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

Code documentation: https://docs.rs/cargo/

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 https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo
cd cargo

With cargo already installed, you can simply run:

cargo build --release

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.

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