# Installing Rust
|
|
|
|
Since `actix-web` is a Rust framework you will need Rust to get started with it.
|
|
If you don't have it yet we recommend you use `rustup` to manage your Rust
|
|
installation. The [official rust
|
|
guide](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ch01-01-installation.html)
|
|
has a wonderful section on getting started.
|
|
|
|
We currently require at least Rust 1.24 so make sure you run `rustup update`
|
|
to have the latest and greatest Rust version available. In particular this
|
|
guide will assume that you actually run Rust 1.26 or later.

# Installing `actix-web`
|
|
|
|
Thank's to Rust's `cargo` package manager you won't need to explicitly install
|
|
`actix-web`. Just depend on it and you're ready to go. For the unlikely
|
|
case that you want to use the development version of actix-web you can
|
|
depend on the git repository directly.
|
|
|
|
Release version:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
actix-web = "{{< actix-version "actix-web" >}}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Development version:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
actix-web = { git = "https://github.com/actix/actix-web" }
|
|
```

# Diving In
|
|
|
|
There are two paths you can take here. You can follow the guide along or if
|
|
you are very impatient you might want to have a look at our
|
|
[extensive example repository](https://github.com/actix/examples) and run the
|
|
included examples. Here for instance is how you run the included `basics`
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/actix/examples
|
|
cd examples/basics
|
|
cargo run
|
|
```
