you need to install the Build Tools (don’t worry, it’s not as heavy as the full IDE) that’ll allow you to build Windows executables using Rust another option would be to install a Linux virtual machine like Debian (with the aid of WSL ), and install the distribution-specific build tools e.g. gcc, clang, etc. and then install rustup in the distro like you would in a normal Linux machine that’ll allow you to make Linux executables, which you then run in the VM my advice would be since you’re just starting out, stick to Windows…it’s far more effort to maintain two OSes than just get the Build Tools once and for all

This is actually quite simple. Start the rustup installer. Change the triplet to „x86_64-pc-windows-gnu“ and install. This is especially usefull if you don‘t have any admin privileges on the system. Ne aware that some packages might build sources internally that may require the msvc toolchain

Install it with scoop for easier package management on your system with a single command:
GNU toolchain
scoop install rustup-gnu
rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
or
scoop install rustup for MSVC toolchain
Then you can update rustup or uninstall it whenever you want with:
scoop upgrade rustup
scoop uninstall rustup.

Follow directions in Other ways to install rustup. Download rustup-init.exe based on the target toolchain of your choice:
- 64-bit MSVC: x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe
- 64-bit GNU: x86_64-pc-windows-gnu/rustup-init.exe
- 32-bit MSVC: i686-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe
- 32-bit GNU: i686-pc-windows-gnu/rustup-init.exe
You can use --help to see what options there are to configure the installation:
> .\rustup-init.exe --help
rustup-init 1.24.3 (ce5817a94 2021-05-31)
The installer for rustup
USAGE:
rustup-init.exe [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
FLAGS:
-v, --verbose Enable verbose output
-q, --quiet Disable progress output
-y Disable confirmation prompt.
--no-update-default-toolchain Don't update any existing default toolchain after install
--no-modify-path Don't configure the PATH environment variable
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
--default-host <default-host> Choose a default host triple
--default-toolchain <default-toolchain> Choose a default toolchain to install
--profile <profile> [default: default] [possible values: minimal, default, complete]
-c, --component <components>... Component name to also install
-t, --target <targets>... Target name to also install
The basic -y should work for you; it will install rustup and the default toolchain. You can of course use wget to download the installer within a script.
> wget https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu/rustup-init.exe
> .\rustup-init.exe -vy
Note, the MSVC toolchain will require you to install the Visual C++ Build Tools to function. I'm unsure how to install those in a CLI only environment. Hopefully the .exe for that functions similarly.

I have tested two solutions that were suggested as comments above, and both worked. Thanks, kennytm and ljedrz!
Suggested by kennytm, add the following line to the hosts file in c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
13.32.244.72 static.rust-lang.org
Suggested by ljedrz, use a standalone installer. In the past, one could easily find those standalone installers, but with the latest reorg of the rust language site, the only thing really pops out initially is the rustup-init.exe. However as @ljedrz pointed out in his comment above, those standalone installers still exist and can be found here: standalone installers for various platforms.

This will includes all needed components for Rust: If you’d like a more minimal install (and won’t be doing C++ development) then you can use the “Individual Components” tab to select just the essentials, which are: MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools (Latest) ... Note that the specific version of the Windows SDK doesn’t matter for pure Rust code but if using C++ as well you’ll likely want either the latest or whichever version is required by the C++ project (or both).
