    Average C from source experience: (copied from Kicad)

    apt get long list of dependency 
    git clone
    cd
    cmake 
    make
    sudo make install
    rm -r .
    

    Average Rust from source experience:

    cargo install
    

    Most of the time you should probably not install from source of possible.

        Then why do you need cargo in the first place, sir? You install a program written i Rust just as if it isn’t. When you apt install xzy, you don’t even know what language is used to program it.
