### How to use an overlay toolchain in a derivation {#how-to-use-an-overlay-toolchain-in-a-derivation}
916

917
+
You can also use an overlay's Rust toolchain with `buildRustPackage`.
918
+
The below snippet demonstrates invoking `buildRustPackage` with an oxalica overlay selected Rust toolchain:
919
+
```nix
920
+
with import <nixpkgs>
921
+
{
922
+
overlays = [
923
+
(import (fetchTarball "https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay/archive/master.tar.gz"))
924
+
];
925
+
};
926
+
927
+
rustPlatform.buildRustPackage rec {
928
+
pname = "ripgrep";
929
+
version = "12.1.1";
930
+
nativeBuildInputs = [
931
+
rust-bin.stable.latest.minimal
932
+
];
933
+
934
+
src = fetchFromGitHub {
935
+
owner = "BurntSushi";
936
+
repo = pname;
937
+
rev = version;
938
+
sha256 = "1hqps7l5qrjh9f914r5i6kmcz6f1yb951nv4lby0cjnp5l253kps";
939
+
};
940
+
941
+
cargoSha256 = "03wf9r2csi6jpa7v5sw5lpxkrk4wfzwmzx7k3991q3bdjzcwnnwp";
942
+
943
+
meta = with lib; {
944
+
description = "A fast line-oriented regex search tool, similar to ag and ack";
945
+
homepage = "https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep";
946
+
license = licenses.unlicense;
947
+
maintainers = [ maintainers.tailhook ];
948
+
};
949
+
}
950
+
```
951
+
952
+
Follow the below steps to try that snippet.
953
+
1. create a new directory
954
+
1. save the above snippet as `default.nix` in that directory
955
+
1. cd into that directory and run `nix-build`
