How to install Cargo on a RHEL Linux server?

Question

I tried installing Cargo on a RHEL server with:

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

but after finishing, I get the response:

cargo
-bash: cargo: command not found

Is there a different way to install?

Answer 1

1. First enable the rhel-7-variant-devtools-rpms repository

   subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-varient-devtools-rpms

   Replace variant with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system variant (server or workstation)

2. Enable the rhel-variant-rhscl-7-rpms repository:

   subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-variant-rhscl-7-rpms

3. Add the Red Hat Developer Tools key to your system:

   cd /etc/pki/rpm-gpg

   wget -O RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-devel https://www.redhat.com/security/data/a5787476.txt

   rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-devel

   Once the subscription is attached to the system and repositories enabled, you can install Red Hat Rust Toolset

4. Then install rust-toolset-7

   yum install rust-toolset-7

   Cargo is provided by the rust-toolset-7-cargo package and is automatically installed with the rust-toolset-7 package.
