## Getting Started
The [crate documentation](https://slint-ui.com/docs/rust/slint/) shows how to use this crate.
### Hello World
The most basic "Hello world" application can be achieved with a few lines of code:
In your `Cargo.toml` add:
```toml
[dependencies]
slint = "0.2.4"
```
And in your `main.rs`:
```rust
slint::slint!{
HelloWorld := Window {
Text {
text: "hello world";
color: green;
}
}
}
fn main() {
HelloWorld::new().run();
}
```
The [`slint` crate documentation](https://slint-ui.com/docs/rust/slint/)
contains more advanced examples and alternative ways to use this crate.
To quickly get started, you can use the [Template Repository](https://github.com/slint-ui/slint-rust-template) with
the code of a minimal application using Slint that can be used as a starting point to your program.
```bash
cargo install cargo-generate
cargo generate --git https://github.com/slint-ui/slint-rust-template
```
## More examples
You can quickly try out the [examples](/examples) by cloning this repo and running them with `cargo run`
```sh
# Runs the "printerdemo" example
cargo run --release --bin printerdemo
```
### Minimum Supported Rust Version
