Change:
Specifically at , and recommend for Windows too, right? We've , but in the meantime, the old book should recommend the new recommended toolchain :) If it's too soon to do this because isn't stable enough yet, consider this a reminder issue to make this change once it is :)
wants to wait a bit, and we'd need to then make sure to update the website in sync (see )
Maybe the big red warning "this is beta software" should be removed from the website?
This will be fixed by

If you do, Rust has been installed successfully! Congrats! <del> If you don't and you're on Windows, check that Rust is in your %PATH% system variable: `$ echo %PATH%`. If it isn't, run the installer again, select "Change" on the "Change, repair, or remove installation" page and ensure "Add to PATH" is installed on the local hard drive.  If you need to configure your path manually, you can find the Rust executables in a directory like `"C:Program FilesRust stable GNU 1.xbin"`. </del> <ins> If you don't, that probably means that the `PATH` environment variable doesn't include Cargo's binary directory, `~/.cargo/bin` on Unix, or `%USERPROFILE%.cargobin` on Windows. This is the directory where Rust development tools live, and most Rust developers keep it in their `PATH` environment variable, which makes it possible to run `rustc` on the command line. Due to differences in operating systems, command shells, and bugs in installation, you may need to restart your shell, log out of the system, or configure `PATH` manually as appropriate for your operating environment. </ins> Rust does not do its own linking, and so you’ll need to have a linker installed. Doing so will depend on your specific system. For
