cfb69ad2 18## Installing Cargo
ffd985f1 19

20Cargo is distributed by default with Rust, so if you've got `rustc` installed
21locally you probably also have `cargo` installed locally.

25### Requirements
26
5ef03758
AC
27Cargo requires the following tools and packages to build:
28
ea182b83 29* `cargo` and `rustc`
c2a5be76
EH
30* A C compiler [for your platform](https://github.com/rust-lang/cc-rs#compile-time-requirements)
31* `git` (to clone this repository)
32
33**Other requirements:**
34
35The following are optional based on your platform and needs.
36
37* `pkg-config` — This is used to help locate system packages, such as `libssl` headers/libraries. This may not be required in all cases, such as using vendored OpenSSL, or on Windows.
38* OpenSSL — Only needed on Unix-like systems and only if the `vendored-openssl` Cargo feature is not used.
39
40 This requires the development headers, which can be obtained from the `libssl-dev` package on Ubuntu or `openssl-devel` with apk or yum or the `openssl` package from Homebrew on macOS.
41
42 If using the `vendored-openssl` Cargo feature, then a static copy of OpenSSL will be built from source instead of using the system OpenSSL.
43 This may require additional tools such as `perl` and `make`.
44
45 On macOS, common installation directories from Homebrew, MacPorts, or pkgsrc will be checked. Otherwise it will fall back to `pkg-config`.
46
47 On Windows, the system-provided Schannel will be used instead.
48
49 LibreSSL is also supported.
50
51**Optional system libraries:**
52
53The build will automatically use vendored versions of the following libraries. However, if they are provided by the system and can be found with `pkg-config`, then the system libraries will be used instead:
54
55* [`libcurl`](https://curl.se/libcurl/) — Used for network transfers.
56* [`libgit2`](https://libgit2.org/) — Used for fetching git dependencies.
57* [`libssh2`](https://www.libssh2.org/) — Used for SSH access to git repositories.
58* [`libz`](https://zlib.net/) (aka zlib) — Used for data compression.
59
60It is recommended to use the vendored versions as they are the versions that are tested to work with Cargo.

77## Adding new subcommands to Cargo
78
cfb69ad2
AC
79Cargo is designed to be extensible with new subcommands without having to modify
80Cargo itself. See [the Wiki page][third-party-subcommands] for more details and
81a list of known community-developed subcommands.
