+Qiskit Terra has a minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) of 1.56.1. This means
+to build Qiskit Terra from source you must have at least rustc version 1.56.1
+installed, older versions will not be able to compile Qiskit.
+
 Once you have a rust compiler installed you can rely on the normal Python
 build/install steps to install Qiskit Terra. This means you just run
 `pip install .` in your local git clone to build and install Qiskit Terra.
