cargo the rust package manager is not installed or is not on path.

I had the same issue with the docker image python:3.12-alpine. This answer was the first one I found. When I tried to install the rust compiler on the alpine container, my pip package (solana dependency - solders) took forever to compile. The only solution I found was to use python:3.12-bookworm instead. It didn’t require any compilation or rust installation. It just worked out of the box. I hope my answer helps someone save a few evenings.

You’ll need to add the location you installed cargo to to your system’s PATH environment variable. It’s also possible it’s already been added in which case you might just need to restart / use a new instance of your terminal application.

I had to yank ypy v0.5.5 because it had inconsistent wheels. We released v0.6.0 with a breaking change, but JupyterLab currently pins ypy<0.6.0. Yesterday I released v0.5.9, that should fix your issue.

How to Fix 'Cargo, the Rust Package Manager, is Not Installed or on PATH' Error When Installing Python Packages with pip — pythontutorials.net

The easiest and recommended way to install cargo is via rustup—Rust’s official installer and version manager. rustup installs the latest stable version of Rust, including cargo, and keeps it updated. Visit the rustup website. Download rustup-init.exe (the Rustup installer). Run the installer and follow the on-screen prompts. By default, it will install Rust and add cargo to your PATH.

.cargo\bin is cargo's private directory, and you're not supposed to cd there, ever. cargo command is supposed to work in every directory, thanks to PATH environmental variable. By default, rustup installation sets this up for you. Try closing the terminal and re-opening it. If that doesn't help r…
