Rust Developer Environment

Substrate uses the Rust programming language. You should install Rust using rustup:

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

Then make sure that you are using the latest Rust stable by default:

rustup default stable

Wasm Compilation

Substrate uses WebAssembly (Wasm), and you will need to configure your Rust compiler to use nightly to support this build target.

Run the following:

rustup update nightly
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown --toolchain nightly

Rustup Update

Substrate always uses the latest version of Rust stable and nightly for compilation. To ensure your Rust compiler is always up to date, you should run:

rustup update

This may even solve compilation issues you face when working with Substrate.
