# Running Builds from RustRover
Last updated on Sep 6, 2026
You can distribute builds in RustRover to accelerate them using Incredibuild.
The Incredibuild RustRover plugin adds an Incredibuild menu to RustRover with the following options:
* **Build:** Runs an incremental Cargo build through Incredibuild. It uses the same cargo command the IDE's own Build Project would run (so the selected run configuration, build profile, and targets are respected).
* **Rebuild:** Runs `cargo clean` on the workspace first, then builds through Incredibuild (same cargo command as above after the clean).
* **Stop Build:** Cancels the Incredibuild build or clean that is currently running.
You can also enable the Incredibuild integration into the native RustRover Build/Test/Run actions.
Use Incredibuild's [Build Monitor](/windows/monitor-builds) to watch and analyze (in a graphical timeline) what happens during an Incredibuild build.
## Installing Incredibuild RustRover Plugin
To install the Incredibuild RustRover plugin:
1. From the Incredibuild site, download `intellij-ib-plugin.zip`.
2. Open RustRover.
3. Go to **Plugins**.
4. On the Plugins page, click the gear icon.
5. Select **Install Plugin from Disk...**.
6. Select the plugin file.
7. Click **Open**.
8. Click **Accept** to accept the Third-Party Plugins Notice.
9. Restart RustRover, if required.
If Incredibuild is not installed on your computer, or if the Incredibuild version is too old, a message appears prompting you to download and install the latest version of Incredibuild.
## Building using the Incredibuild RustRover Plugin
To build using the Incredibuild RustRover plugin:
1. In your RustRover project, go to **Incredibuild > Build**. The build progress appears in the Incredibuild output pane.
2. To enable the Incredibuild integration into the native Build/Test/Run actions:
1. Go to **Settings > Tools > Incredibuild**.
2. Select **Accelerate the IDE's own build actions**.
3. Click **OK**.
3. Once the Incredibuild tool is enabled, click **Build > Build Project**. The build is executed using Incredibuild and the progress is displayed in the native Build Output pane.
4. Open [Build Monitor](/windows/monitor-builds) to view the build progress.
