You have to build Rust from source, then install the dependencies with cargo, then update your node.js because it uses npm to manage it's configurations and if your npm isn't at least the current unstable version, the configs will be outdated. This worked for me on Arch, which is what I use btw.

As someone who actually did out of interest at one point, you'd be surprised how easy this is to do. x.py is a godsend.

For the rest of your comment, it was immediately invalidated when you said you use Arch. The reality is that more people use Ubuntu, so you should be using Ubuntu too. Don't use apt? Figure it out yourself :P
