There are two ways to install the Rust compiler: by building from source or
by downloading prebuilt binaries or installers for your platform. The
[install page][rust-install] contains links to download binaries for both
the nightly build and the most current Rust major release. For Windows and
OS X, the install page provides links to native installers.
The Rust compiler currently must be built from a [tarball] or [git], unless
you are on Windows, in which case using the [installer][win-exe] is
recommended. There is a list of community-maintained nightly builds and
packages [on the wiki][wiki-packages].

For Linux and OS X, the install page provides links to binary tarballs.
To install the Rust compiler from the from a binary tarball, download
the binary package, extract it, and execute the `install.sh` script in
the root directory of the package.
To build the Rust compiler from source, you will need to obtain the source through
[Git][git] or by downloading the source package from the [install page][rust-install].

a precompiled "snapshot" version of itself (made in an earlier state
