While reading through the documentation I have noticed that there is very little support on how to add rust to popular IDE's. so I have ahead and added examples of what it could look like to add some help for those who want to have rust installed with one of the more popular IDE's. It would make the general installation process become significant more intuitive fore new programmers to have a section going over how one would be able to add Rust to an IDE that they would already be familiar with. I suggest that it would be included in the https://github.com/rust-lang/book/blob/main/src/ch01-01-installation.md portion of the book.

My example of what it can look like can be found here https://github.com/Luxosaucer/Fixes/blob/main/src/ch01-01-installation.md.

Thanks for the note. If we were going to do anything here, it would probably be to link to https://www.rust-lang.org/tools – that way, instead of having to maintain that information in multiple places (and especially having to be concerned about things going out of date in the print version) they can just be updated regularly in that single location. I'll think on whether that's something we want to do, though.

I went ahead and added a paragraph to that effect to the first chapter, linking to the Tools page. Thanks again for the feedback!
