+# The Rust Programming Language
+
+This is a compiler for Rust, including standard libraries, tools and
+documentation. Rust is a systems programming language that is fast,
+memory safe and multithreaded, but does not employ a garbage collector
+or otherwise impose significant runtime overhead.
+
+To install to /usr/local (the default), run the included `install.sh` script:
+
+ $ sudo ./install.sh
+
+To uninstall:
+
+ $ sudo /usr/local/lib/rustlib/uninstall.sh
+
+`install.sh` has a few options, including the possibility to set an installation
+prefix. You can display these options by running:
+
+ $ sudo ./install.sh --help
+
+Read [The Book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/index.html) to learn how
+to use Rust.
+
+Rust is primarily distributed under the terms of both the MIT license
+and the Apache License (Version 2.0), with portions covered by various
+BSD-like licenses.

+See LICENSE-APACHE, LICENSE-MIT, and COPYRIGHT for details.
