Working on an Existing Package - The Cargo Book

## Working on an Existing Cargo Package

If you download an existing package that uses Cargo, it’s really easy to get going.

First, get the package from somewhere. In this example, we’ll use `rand` cloned from its repository on GitHub:

    $ git clone https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rand.git
    $ cd rand

To build, use `cargo build`:

    $ cargo build
       Compiling rand v0.1.0 (file:///path/to/package/rand)

This will fetch all of the dependencies and then build them, along with the package.
