Install RLS (Rust Language Server)

You have to setup nightly release channel toolchain.

rustup install nightly

rustup update nightly

rustup component add --toolchain=nightly rls-preview rust-analysis rust-src

Note: You don't have to set nightly as a default channel. In general, RLS works on stable channel when nightly toolchain is installed.
