Network proxies

Enterprise networks often don’t have direct outside HTTP access, but enforce the use of proxies. If you’re on such a network, you can request that rustup uses a proxy by setting its URL in the environment. In most cases, setting https_proxy should be sufficient. Commands may differ between different systems and shells:

• On a Unix-like system with a shell like bash or zsh:

  export https_proxy=socks5://proxy.example.com:1080
  

• On Windows Command Prompt (cmd):

  set https_proxy=socks5://proxy.example.com:1080
  

• On Windows PowerShell (or PowerShell Core):

  $env:https_proxy="socks5://proxy.example.com:1080"
  

• Replace socks5://proxy.example.com:1080 with http://proxy.example.com:8080 when an HTTP proxy is used instead.

If you need a more complex setup, rustup supports the convention used by the curl program, documented in the ENVIRONMENT section of its manual page.
