R.I.M (Rust Installation Manager)

Manage Rust toolchain and a set of extra tools with ease.

How does it work?

This simple tool takes advantage of rustup, while offering some configurations allowing users to manage not only the rust toolchain, but also extra tools that may or may not built with Rust.

Usage

This program has seperated main functions, one is installer and one is manager. The manager binary is basically a renamed version of installer which will be written locally to the user machine after successully running installer.

this is a similar procedure done in rustup with its rustup-init and rustup.

Install

Run the executable as ./installer [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -v, --verbose        Enable verbose output
  -q, --quiet          Suppress non-critical messages
  -y, --yes            Disable interaction and answer 'yes' to all prompts
      --prefix <PATH>  Set another path to install Rust
  -h, --help           Print help
  -V, --version        Print version

Manage your installation

Run the executable as manager [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]

Commands:
  uninstall  Uninstall individual components or everything
  try-it     A subcommand to create a new Rust project template and let you start coding with it
  help       Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
  -v, --verbose  Enable verbose output
  -q, --quiet    Suppress non-critical messages
  -y, --yes      Disable interaction and answer 'yes' to all prompts
  -h, --help     Print help
  -V, --version  Print version

1. uninstall selected tools:

./manager uninstall tool [TOOLS]

2. uninstall everything:

./manager uninstall all

3. Export a pre-configured example project for you to try Rust:

./manager try-it -p /path/to/create/project

Known problems

1. There's a bug related to the WebKitGTK on some linux distro, which causing the GUI program showing blank upon starting. This issue can be bypassed after setting the environment variable WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE to 1:

   export WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1
