This command will install the build-essential tools, SSL libraries, and a package configuration tool.

Step 3: Install Rust

Now, we need to install Rust programming language. Run the following command to install Rust:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

This command will download and run the Rust installer script. When prompted, press 1 to proceed with the default installation.
