-The way to install `rustup` differs by platform:
-
-- On Unix, run `curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh` in your shell. This
-  downloads and runs [`rustup-init.sh`], which in turn downloads and runs the
-  correct version of the `rustup-init` executable for your platform.
-- On Windows, download and run [`rustup-init.exe`].

-`rustup-init` can be configured interactively, and all options can additionally
