CargoRust`s package manager and build system
What is Cargo?
Cargo is the Rust package manager. Cargo downloads your Rust package’s dependencies, compiles your packages, makes distributable packages, and uploads them to crates.io, the Rust community’s package registry.
There are four things that Cargo will help us
- Introduces two metadata files with various bits of package information.
- Fetches and builds your package’s dependencies.
- Invokes rustc or another build tool with the correct parameters to build your package.
- Introduces conventions to make working with Rust packages easier.
Rust Cargo
... also provide a centralized registry where we as developers will be able to fetch crates from it.
