# Instal Rust (Interactive)

I use this BASH script for quickly installing system development utilities, testing framework and benchmarking harness on Linux machines on AWS EC2. In C++ projects, my choice of

• testing framework: google-test
• benchmark harness: google-benchmark

It also installs Rust toolchain, following https://rustup.rs/.
