The Cargo Book

The easiest way to get Cargo is to get the current stable release of Rust by using the rustup script:

$ curl -sSf https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sh

After this, you can use the rustup command to also install beta or nightly channels for Rust and Cargo.

To install just Cargo, the current recommended installation method is through the official nightly builds. Note that Cargo will also require that Rust is already installed on the system.

Alternatively, you can build Cargo from source.
