The Easy WayTM to Install Rust (on a Mac)
The easiest way to install Rust on a Mac is to head on over to https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install and use the shell command there -
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
But...
Sometimes we get the following error -
Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to static.rust-lang.org
Sometimes. I got this on my work machine but not my personal one.

There is a fairly straightforward solution

(See Update below before trying this)
We want to use rustup so let's get that first.
brew install rustup
Next let's setup cargo and rustc,
rustup-init
Finally we can check our installation with - rustc --version
UPDATE
jeikabu on Dev.to has given this tip to try.
The old way of installing rustup - curl sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
I haven't tested this but it is worth trying before falling back on brew.

Using brew to run a shell script seems like overkill, can you just use the old command:
curl sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
Yes, that is definitely the preferred approach and worked on one of my machines.
The second approach is only for when that doesn't work
I mean, it's a known potential issue with macOS and client-side certificates, just don't use TLS. No need for brew.
cool, I'll add that to the article, thanks :D
Erroneous. Brew everything; upgrades are easier. I was looking for these steps though. Thanks.
