Implementation Notes

• Right click on a .rs or .rscript file and choose Run with Papyrus to compile and run code!
• Papyrus will take the contents of the source code and construct a directory to be used with cargo. For now the directory is created under a .papyrus directory in the users home directory.
• The compiled binary will be executed with the current directory the one that houses the file. So env::current_dir() will return the directory of the .rs or .rscript file.

Example - .rs

File hello.rs.

```sh extern crate some_crate;

fn main() { println!("Hello, world!"); } ```

Use papyrus to execute code.

bash papyrus run hello.rs

The src/main.rs will be populated with the same contents as hello.rs. A Cargo.toml file will be created, where some_crate will be added as a dependency some-crate = "*".

Example - .rscript

File hello.rscript.

```sh extern crate some_crate;

println!("Hello, world!"); ```

Use papyrus to execute code.

bash papyrus run hello.rscript

The src/main.rs will be populated with a main function encapsulating the code, and crate references placed above it. A similar Cargo.toml will be created as before.
