You can use this overlay by either changing your local nixpkgs configuration,
or by adding the overlay declaratively in a nix expression, e.g. in `configuration.nix`.

The latest version can be installed with the following command: ### Declarative rust overlay installation
Add the following to your `configuration.nix`, `home-configuration.nix`, `shell.nix`, or similar:
```
nixpkgs = {
overlays = [
(import (builtins.fetchTarball https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla/archive/master.tar.gz))
# Further overlays go here
];
};
```
Note that this will fetch the latest overlay version when rebuilding your system.
### Rust overlay usage
The overlay contains attribute sets corresponding to different versions of the rust toolchain, such as:
* `latest.rustChannels.stable`
* `latest.rustChannels.nightly`
* a function `rustChannelOf`, called as `(rustChannelOf { date = "2018-04-11"; channel = "nightly"; })`, or...
* `(nixpkgs.rustChannelOf { rustToolchain = ./rust-toolchain; })` if you have a local `rust-toolchain` file (see https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla#using-in-nix-expressions for an example)
Each of these contain packages such as `rust`, which contains your usual rust development tools with the respective toolchain chosen.
For example, you might want to add `latest.rustChannels.stable.rust` to the list of packages in your configuration.
Imperatively, the latest stable version can be installed with the following command:
$ nix-env -Ai nixos.latest.rustChannels.stable.rust $ nix-env -Ai nixos.latest.rustChannels.stable.rust
