Cargo Virtual Environment
A virtual environment tool similar to Python's virtual environments.
Table of Contents
Installation
pip install cargo-venv
Usage
Leveraging Cargo
's built-in command mechanism, you can simply call the following command to get a virtual environment called
venv
.
cargo venv
However, since this is a Python script, you can specify a different name by calling:
cargo-venv custom-name
Custom toolchain
You can also specify a custom toolchain rather than always depend on the latest. If a rust-toolchain
file is discovered
in your project, that version will be used to install the toolchain inside your virtual environment.
