Quickstart
Before you can start writing a Rocket application, you'll need to install the Rust toolchain. We recommend using rustup. If you don't have Rust installed and would like extra guidance doing so, see the getting started section.
Running Examples
The absolute fastest way to start experimenting with Rocket is to clone the
Rocket repository and run the included examples in the examples/ directory.
For instance, the following set of commands runs the hello_world example:
git clone https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket
cd Rocket
git checkout master
cd examples/hello_world
cargo run
There are numerous examples in the examples/ directory. They can all be run
with cargo run.
! note
The examples' Cargo.toml files will point to the locally cloned rocket
libraries. When copying the examples for your own use, you should modify the
Cargo.toml files as explained in the Getting Started guide.
