I don't have Ubuntu 24, but I do have Ubuntu 22. You should search for
the rustc package, which is the rust compiler.

$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
Release:        22.04
Codename:       jammy

$ apt-cache search rustc
rustc - Rust systems programming language
cargo - Rust package manager
...

Personally, I have experienced a lot of problems with rust, and its
inability to compile its own cargos. I would recommend you avoid rust
until it matures.
