How To

This will show you two ways to learn how to use Rust in Python.

Initial Setup

Start with the following instructions and then choose the next step depending on if you want to run this project or start your own.

Create Python Virtual Environment using python -m venv .env
Activate your venv
Run pip install maturin

Choose only one of the next two steps.

For more detailed instructions go to Maturin.
