I just installed Rust by curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh and rebooted my system. But I cannot access cargo, rustc.. on my terminal.

My .profile file contains the following line

export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH" I'm using Xfce 4.12 as my desktop env.

I can guess this happens because, my PATH variable is not working .. ?

So, my question is, .profile not work in Xfce(I'm very much new to Xfce) as with Gnome? and how should I resolve this.

Thank you in advance.

Try adding

. /etc/profile
. ~/.profile

to ~/.xsessionrc.

As has been determined in the comments, the ~/.profile not being loaded is the root cause of the issue. The solution is to either start the shell with --login option or relocate the variable declaration and export into ~/.bashrc file so that it is available in every interactive shell.
