15 Cargo is distributed by default with Rust, so if you've got `rustc` installed
16 locally you probably also have `cargo` installed locally.
18 ## Compiling from Source
20 Cargo requires the following tools and packages to build:
24 * `pkg-config` (on Unix, used to figure out the `libssl` headers/libraries)
25 * OpenSSL headers (only for Unix, this is the `libssl-dev` package on ubuntu)
28 First, you'll want to check out this repository
31 git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo
35 With `cargo` already installed, you can simply run:
41 ## Adding new subcommands to Cargo
43 Cargo is designed to be extensible with new subcommands without having to modify
44 Cargo itself. See [the Wiki page][third-party-subcommands] for more details and
45 a list of known community-developed subcommands.
