Open terminal > cd (command to change directory) into the directory where the code is that you want to compile > then run the compiler

In rust I would CD into the directory that I have written my code in. Let's say user/rust/projects/example1 with the command:

cd user/rust/projects/example1

Now every command I type will be executed on that directory. The tool I use is called "cargo" the command to compile is "build".

So with that information I type:

cargo build

While being in user/rust/projects/example1 and when I did everything right my Programm will compile and the result of that can be found in a folder in that project. Something like:

user/rust/projects/example1/build/prod

Hope that helps to give a overview of how the process is supposed to go when everything works without a problem.
