 ### Install the prerequisites
 
-1. Install [`rustup`](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/): the officially recommended Rust toolchain manager
-   - It's available on Ubuntu as a [Snap](https://snapcraft.io/rustup)
-2. Call `rustup default stable` to "download the latest stable release of Rust and set it as your default toolchain"
-   - If you forget, the `rustup` [help system](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/blob/d9b3601c3feb2e88cf3f8ca4f7ab4fdad71441fd/src/errors.rs#L109-L112) will remind you

-4. Call `cargo install wasm-pack` to install the [WebAssembly toolchain](https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/wasm-pack/)
-5. Call `cargo install trunk` to install the [Trunk](https://trunkrs.dev/) web-build tool
-   - In the future, `trunk` can be updated with the same command. You may need the `--locked` flag if your ambient version of `rustc` does not match that required by `trunk`.

 6. Add the `.cargo/bin` folder in your home directory to your executable search path

 ### Play with the prototype
