# Building

To build `cmsis-pack-manager` locally, Install a stable rust compiler. See
https://rustup.rs/ for details on installing `rustup`, the Rust toolchain
updater. Afterwards, run `rustup toolchain install` to get the Rust toolchain
and build system for building `cmsis-pack-manager`.

After installing the rust toolchain and downloading a stable compiler, run
`pip wheel .` from the root of this repo to generate a binary wheel (`.whl`
file). Alternatively you can run `pip install maturin cffi` and then
`maturin build` for a process closer to the way we build releases.

For testing purposes, there is a CLI written in Rust within the rust
workspace as the package `cmsis-cli`. For example From the `rust`
directory, `cargo run -p cmsis-cli -- update` builds this testing
CLI and runs the update command, for example.
