Can anyone help with me please? Thanks so much!

All you need to do is install rust from this link https://rustup.rs/
Then execute the exe file and it should work.

This bit me as well. It would be nice to have it in the install instructions.

GOSH! Thank you for this. I was stumped across several machines. I've always found the instructions leave out details and spend a lot of time cross-referencing information (that I assume we're supposed to know) and so have formulated my own instructions I'm forced to keep handy for updating/maintenance.

Thank you again!

Thanks a billion, it works.
