You created your first project in ​Starting a New Project with Cargo​; however, as a refresher, here are the steps to follow:

1. Open a terminal/command prompt.
2. Change the directory to your “Learn Rust” directory. e.g., cd /home/bert/learnrust).
3. Use Cargo to make a new “treehouse” project: type cargo new treehouse.
4. Launch your favorite text editor/IDE, and load your new project.

You now have a new “Hello, World” program ready for editing. Let’s add some functionality to make it interactive.
