 ### Unix and macOS
 
+Consult the official [Install Rust](https://rust-lang.org/tools/install/)
+instructions to install a Rust toolchain, required for Temporal support introduced in Node.js 25.4.0.
+Individual packages such as `rust` and `cargo` in some operating system distributions may be considered

+Consult with relevant operating system documentation to ensure that packages
+meet the minimum version specified in the
+[Building Node.js with Temporal support](#building-nodejs-with-temporal-support) section,
+as packaged versions may lag behind the `stable` version installed by the official instructions.
+Avoid mixing `rustup` together with `rust` and `cargo` package installations, due to
+potential version conflicts.
