No default toolchain configured after installing rustup

I installed Rust using rustup, but when I try to enter a Rust command like cargo or rustc in my console, the following error appears:

error: no default toolchain configured

Is this a known issue?

If it seems that rustup did not successfully install and configure the stable toolchain, you can do it manually:

rustup install stable
rustup default stable

After testing, it seems like my incomplete installation may have been caused by a network error. You can also try to reinstall to solve the problem.

In my case, I had multirust installed and the following worked for me:

multirust install stable
multirust default stable

I installed rust with root, but my IDE doesn't run as root, so I installed rust without root, all worked well.
