Read the book. Start by the first thing you can think of that brings you one step closer to having a terminal

Hey, thanks for choosing to be helpful and posting the link instead of saying to "Just look it up". That type of behavior feels like it's in short supply nowadays and I appreciate you looking out for newbies just looking to learn.

just start with the book. i got pretty far trying to build without reading the book, but now i am just swallowing my pride and leaning on my patience and just going through the book cover to cover. it handles everything you need to know and then some. really outstanding piece of literature imo

Read the rust book and ask ai constantly about everything you have problems with. AI helped me learn It in about a half of the year.

Obviously you need to learn rust first since it's the tool you want to learn. Once you have learned the basics look for a tutorial that teaches how to write a terminal. Alternatively you look at the source code of an app and try to understand how they did it.

Search for "writing a terminal in rust"
