Quickstart
Before you can start writing a Rocket application, you'll need to install the Rust toolchain. We recommend using rustup. If you don't have Rust installed and would like extra guidance doing so, see Getting Started.
Running Examples
The absolute fastest way to start experimenting with Rocket is to clone the Rocket repository and run the included examples in the examples/
directory. For instance, the following set of commands runs the hello
example:
1 2 3 4 5
There are numerous examples in the examples/
directory. They can all be run with cargo run
.
The examples' Cargo.toml
files will point to the locally cloned rocket
libraries. When copying the examples for your own use, you should modify the Cargo.toml
files as explained in the Getting Started guide.
