Instructions how to participate when you do not have Rust installed

I do not have Rust installed, now what?

This README provides some helpful hints how to participate in the workshop when you do not have Rust installed.

Install Rust

Rust is an awesome language and installing it is preferable. This can be achieved by executing the following command

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

Unfortunatly, sometimes you just can't install Rust. What ever the reason, whether it is the conference WiFi or you do not want to commit just yet, keep on reading. Maybe we can provide an other option.

Docker

This repository contains a docker image that can be loaded into docker with the following commands.

gunzip workshop-rust.tar.gz
docker load -i workshop-rust.tar

The packaged image is scorpil/rust. To use it, go to the directory that contains your Rust projects and run the following docker command.

docker run -i -t -v $PWD:/projects scorpil/rust

If docker is not an option for you, please read on.

VirtualBox

We prepared a VirtualBox machine just for the occasion. We hope you can use this, because it is our last ditch effort. To use it copy the image to your machine and import it in VirtualBox.
