Installation

Programs can be compiled and installed from sources. To do this, a Rust compiler is needed. The easiest way to obtain the compiler along with other necessary tools (like cargo) is to use rustup.

Please follow the instructions at https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install.

Installing rust programs

Once Rust is installed, to compile and install a program from sources and with native optimizations, just execute:

RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo install <program_name>

for example

RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo install coding_benchmark
