 For example, to select the minimal profile you can use:
 
 ```console
 rustup set profile minimal

+You can also directly select the profile used when installing a toolchain with:

 option or programmatically by passing the `--profile=<name>` flag. Profiles
 will only affect newly installed toolchains: as usual it will be possible to
 install individual components later with: `rustup component add`.
