To install Rust from .tar.gz archives you need to download rust and rust-std archives and merge them:

> wget https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-std-1.10.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
> tar xf rust-std-1.10.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz

> wget https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-1.10.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
> tar xf rust-1.10.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz

> mv rust-std-1.10.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/rust-std-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu rust-1.10.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/rustc/lib/rustlib

Now add rustc and cargo to PATH:

> export PATH=/.../rust-1.10.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/rustc/bin:$PATH
> export PATH=/.../rust-1.10.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/cargo/bin:$PATH

Check tools can be found:

> which cargo
/.../rust-1.10.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/cargo/bin/cargo
> cargo --version
cargo 0.11.0-nightly (259324c 2016-05-20)

> which rustc
/.../rust-1.10.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/rustc/bin/rustc
> rustc --version
rustc 1.10.0 (cfcb716cf 2016-07-03)
