The [rustup](https://www.rustup.rs/), tool manager allows you to manage multiple tool chain installations. Rust is distributed in three channels (`stable`, `beta` and `nightly`). You may set the default toolchain:
Nightly tool chains allow for the development of libraries and applications including `unsafe` code using features not available on the `stable channel` (which will be necessary for the later exercises). For some tools to work (`rls/rustfmt`), you need to install additional components. For this to work, you should use a nightly toolchain for which all tools and components work (currently `nightly-2017-10-30` is the latest). Here is an example:

You will need to pin the specific toolchain version used, by setting the `"rust-client.channel": "nightly-2017-10-30"` in your `vscode`*user* settings (this will be stored in a file `~/.config/Code/User/settings.json` and used for all your `vscode` projects. Settings may be set individually for each *workspace*, overriding the defaults. Regarding the `"rust-client.channel"` setting, a *workspace* setting would force the specific version (overriding the default), and may not work when the code is distributed (as other developers may be on other toolchains).

For RLS to work, `vscode` need a path to the `rls-preview` library (using the environment variable `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` (Linux), `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` (OSX ?)).
