**NOTE:** By default, the Windows installer will not add Rust to the Path system
variable. If this is the only version of Rust you are installing and you want to
be able to run it from the command line, click on "Advanced" on the install

the local hard drive.
This installer also installs a copy of the documentation locally, so you can
read it offline. On UNIX systems, `/usr/local/share/doc/rust` is the location.
On Windows, it's in a `share/doc` directory, inside wherever you installed Rust
