Installing the Community Edition compiler

This topic describes the process of installing IBM Open SDK for Rust on AIX 1.96 Community Edition compiler.

The IBM Open SDK for Rust on AIX 1.96 Community Edition is available through the AIX Toolbox for Open Source Software page. It is functionally equivalent to the IBM Open SDK for Rust on AIX 1.96, except that it does not come with entitlement to IBM Support.

To install the latest Community Edition from the AIX Toolbox for Open Source Software page, run the following command:

dnf install rust cargo rustfmt

To install the 1.96.0 version of the Community Edition, run the following command:

dnf install rust1.96 cargo1.96 rustfmt1.96
