How can I read the Rust documentation offline?

Question

I use the default installation of Rust and want to read the doc following this tutorial:

$ rustup doc

But the above command outputs the following error:

There is indeed no html directory:

$ ls /home/xiaonan/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/share/doc/rust/
COPYRIGHT  LICENSE-APACHE  LICENSE-MIT  README.md

How can I read the Rust documentation offline?

If my answer doesn't help, could you add the output of `rustup component list` to your question? — Lukas Kalbertodt, Mar 05 '17 at 11:35

Maybe you need to add the rust-docs component, like this:

rustup component add rust-docs

This will add the component if it's not installed already and will keep it up to date, whenever you update the toolchain it belongs to.

Maybe also add how to open the docs from another rust stable toolchain. – Henk Poley Feb 05 '22 at 15:56
