Install Rust lang on Windows

Even if not directly coding in Rust, one may need to build programs in Rust. For example, to control Apple Studio Display brightness from Windows, one would build the asdbctl Rust program. Many revivals (and newly developed) open-source games are in Rust, such as the classic forest-fire game firefighter.

Rust programs are generally OS-agnostic, unless the Rust code itself uses OS-specific features. Install the Rust toolchain on Windows using WinGet:

winget install --id=Rustlang.Rustup -e

Building and running a Rust program is generally accomplished from the directory containing the Cargo.toml manifest file:

cargo run --release
