Rust compiler installation issue

Describe the issue as clearly as possible:

pip install outlines fails due to rust compiler dependency. Downgrading with pip install outlines==0.0.46 also results in assertion errors on

from outlines import models, generate

model = models.transformers("mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2")

regex_str = r"((25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|[01]?\d\d?)\.){3}(25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|[01]?\d\d?)"
generator = generate.regex(model, regex_str)

result = generator("What is the IP address of localhost?\nIP: ")
print(result)
# 127.0.0.100

Steps/code to reproduce the bug:

pip install outlines

Expected result:

outlines is installed

Error message:

pip install outlines

      !!

              ********************************************************************************
              ############################
              # Package would be ignored #
              ############################
              Python recognizes 'outlines_core.fsm' as an importable package[^1],
              but it is absent from setuptools' `packages` configuration.

              This leads to an ambiguous overall configuration. If you want to distribute this
              package, please make sure that 'outlines_core.fsm' is explicitly added
              to the `packages` configuration field.

              Alternatively, you can also rely on setuptools' discovery methods
              (for example by using `find_namespace_packages(...)`/`find_namespace:`
              instead of `find_packages(...)`/`find:`).

              You can read more about "package discovery" on setuptools documentation page:

              - https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/package_discovery.html

              If you don't want 'outlines_core.fsm' to be distributed and are
              already explicitly excluding 'outlines_core.fsm' via
              `find_namespace_packages(...)/find_namespace` or `find_packages(...)/find`,
              you can try to use `exclude_package_data`, or `include-package-data=False` in
              combination with a more fine grained `package-data` configuration.

              You can read more about "package data files" on setuptools documentation page:

              - https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/datafiles.html

              [^1]: For Python, any directory (with suitable naming) can be imported,
                    even if it does not contain any `.py` files.
                    On the other hand, currently there is no concept of package data
                    directory, all directories are treated like packages.

      error: can't find Rust compiler

      If you are using an outdated pip version, it is possible a prebuilt wheel is available for this package but pip is not able to install from it. Installing from the wheel would avoid the need for a Rust compiler.

      To update pip, run:

          pip install --upgrade pip

      and then retry package installation.

      If you did intend to build this package from source, try installing a Rust compiler from your system package manager and ensure it is on the PATH during installation. Alternatively, rustup (available at https://rustup.rs) is the recommended way to download and update the Rust compiler toolchain.
