### error: component 'miri' is unavailable for download (nightly)
57-
58-
The development of rustc's internals is quite fast paced. Downstream projects that rely on nightly internals, particularly clippy, can break fairly often because of this.
59-

When such breakages occur the nightly release will be missing Miri. This is a trade-off compared with the other option of just not publishing the night's release, but does avoid blocking the rust nightly releases for people that don't need clippy/Miri.
61-

To mitigate the issues we have:
63-
* rustup will warn if the update is missing any components you currently have. This means you can no longer accidentally update to a no-Miri release. Once Miri is available again it'll update.
64-
* However, if you need latest nightly Miri you can use <https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup-components-history/> to find and install a dated nightly release e.g. `rustup install nightly-2018-12-06`.
56+
If `rustup` says the `miri` component is unavailable, that's because not all nightly releases come with all tools. Check out this website to determine a nightly version that comes with Miri and install that, e.g. using `rustup install nightly-2019-03-28`.
