{% callout(type="warning") %}
When using Rust `1.89+` and Bevy `0.16.x or earlier` the examples will not run and instead error. For more info on *why* see the issue: [bevyengine/bevy#20475 "0.16 fails to build breakout example due to bevy_mikktspace not compiling on Rust 1.89"](<https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/20475>)

Some workarounds:
- Use Rust 1.88 or earlier using this command: `rustup default 1.88.0`
- Use Rust 1.88 *only* in your Bevy Engine directory using this command: `rustup override set 1.88` (See https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html#directory-overrides for more on this)

### Add Bevy as a Dependency

Bevy is [available as a library on crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/bevy).
