It looks good. Rustup typically installs binaries in .cargo directory in your home directory.

If you run rustup default stable, it will configure your Rust installation to use the latest stable version you have.

The high-level rustup shims are in ~/.cargo, and the actual releases are in ~/.rustup/toolchains/.

The question is interesting indeed. If I understand correctly, there should be also lines like "installing component 'rustc'" (and so on for every downloaded component), not only for 'rust-src' and 'cargo'.

I think that is just the top part of the cut and paste.

Maybe.., but seems not. Always the same picture. I have saved screenshots (1.60, 1.61)
Next time I will use 'rustup update stable >> up.txt' and post here

Assuming you are using bash type shell?

Directing the output to file is a good idea if you wan to save the text. But keep in mind that the ">>" will append to the up.txt file if it already exists.

Also the output of rustup is to both stdout and stderr.
If you do the command as you posted it will only save the stdout stuff and the stderr stuff will still go to your terminal.

You may need to use a more complex redirection.

rustup  update > up.txt 2>&1

to save stderr and stdout to same file or

rustup update > up.txt 2> up.err

to save stdout and stderr to two separate files.

Windows command line (Win11)

#10 
rustup update stable 1> up.txt 2>&1

I think will save the stdout and stderr to one file on widows. I have not tested.
