Description
I was just following through the instructions in the Readme.md and noticed that the setup scripts require rustup to be present without ever mentioning how to install rustup. rustup is an upstream tool that is usually not available in Linux distributions due security implications.
Thus, the build instructions should be extended to include the installation of rustup. Alternatively, it would be preferable not to use rustup at all but rather rely on the tools supplied by the distribution repositories.
