# Installation

If you're using `rustup` to install and manage your Rust toolchains, Clippy is usually already installed. In that case you can skip this chapter and go to the Usage chapter.

> Note: If you used the `minimal` profile when installing a Rust toolchain, Clippy is not automatically installed.

## Using Rustup

If Clippy was not installed for a toolchain, it can be installed with

    $ rustup component add clippy [--toolchain=<name>]

## From Source

Take a look at the Basics chapter in the Clippy developer guide to find step-by-step instructions on how to build and install Clippy from source.
