Hi Bob,  I think the problem is that by default the front page of the Rust book doesn't display a table of contents nor any navigation buttons, so it's not clear where to go next.
 
[ https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ ]( https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ )
 
If you don't see the table of contents displayed on the left of that page, click the menu button in the upper left corner of that page and it should display it. After that,
Click on Chapter 1 "Getting Started" in that table of contents.
Click the ">" button on the right side of that page. It will take you to "Installation".
Follow the installation instructions.
Click the ">" button again to go to the "Hello, World!" page. Follow those instructions to write, compile and run your first Rust program.
Please let me know if that works for you. You can email me directly if you don't want to debug on the mailing list. :)
 
Thanks,
David H

   Hi Bob,  I think the problem is that by default the front page of the Rust
   book doesn't display a table of contents nor any navigation buttons, so
   it's not clear where to go next.

   If you don't see the table of contents displayed on the left of that page,
   click the menu button in the upper left corner of that page and it should
   display it. After that,

     * Click on Chapter 1 "Getting Started" in that table of contents.
     * Click the ">" button on the right side of that page. It will take you
       to "Installation".
     * Follow the installation instructions.
     * Click the ">" button again to go to the "Hello, World!" page. Follow
       those instructions to write, compile and run your first Rust program.

   Please let me know if that works for you. You can email me directly if you
   don't want to debug on the mailing list. :)

    

   Thanks,

   David H
