Devpack for Rust: Zero to Rust in Seconds
Ubuntu, Monday, October 5th, 2026
Canonical launches Devpack for Rust, a snap bundling Rustup, an IDE and curated Rust command-line tools.
Canonical announced Devpack for Rust, the latest in its devpack series, delivered as a snap that installs with a single command.
It sets up Rustup with a chosen Rust version, an IDE and a selectable suite of command-line utilities such as ripgrep, fd and just through an interactive tree menu.
The devpack is open source on GitHub and runs anywhere snap does.
