### Rust Environment Set Up

* Download `Rustup` and install  `Rust`
    > **Notes:**
    > Rust version 1.62.0 is needed

    Example for `x86_64`
    ```
    $ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
    $ source $HOME/.cargo/env
    $ rustup install 1.62.0
    $ rustup default 1.62.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
    ```

* Musl support for fully static binary
    
    Example for `x86_64`
    ```
    $ rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
    ```
* [Musl `libc`](http://musl.libc.org/) install

    Example for musl 1.2.3
    ```
    $ curl -O https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/snapshot/musl-1.2.3.tar.gz
    $ tar vxf musl-1.2.3.tar.gz
    $ cd musl-1.2.3/
    $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/
    $ make && sudo make install
    ```


### Install Kata 3.0 Rust Runtime Shim

```
$ git clone https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers.git
$ cd kata-containers/src/runtime-rs
$ make && sudo make install
```
After running the command above, the default config file `configuration.toml` will be installed under `/usr/share/defaults/kata-containers/`,  the binary file `containerd-shim-kata-v2` will be installed under `/usr/local/bin/` .
