Rustlings failed to install, linker 'cc' not found

Installing on WSL 2. Rustup installed fine with the default settings.

I tried the --locked argument too, nothing changed.

From the README:

🐧 If you're on Linux, make sure you've installed gcc (for a linker). Deb: sudo apt install gcc

Please install gcc :)

Ah I'm stupid. Thought I had that installed but clearly not. Well that's embarrassing.

Thanks ^.^
