info: downloading installer

Welcome to Rust!

This will download and install the official compiler for the Rust programming 
language, and its package manager, Cargo.

It will add the cargo, rustc, rustup and other commands to Cargo's bin 
directory, located at:

  /home/davis/.cargo/bin

This path will then be added to your PATH environment variable by modifying the
profile files located at:

  /home/davis/.profile
  /home/davis/.zprofile
  /home/davis/.bash_profile

You can uninstall at any time with rustup self uninstall and these changes will
be reverted.

Current installation options:

   default host triple: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
     default toolchain: stable
  modify PATH variable: yes

1) Proceed with installation (default)
2) Customize installation
3) Cancel installation

source $HOME/.cargo/env

To verify that everything is working, you can make a new hello.rs file with the following contents:

fn main() {
    println!("Hello World");
}

and compile it:

rustc hello.rs

Then, finally run it:

davis@davis-arch  ~/projects/rust  ./hello
Hello World

You can also use online resources to compile and run it online like repl.it or Rust playground.
