[Issue that I'm facing]
I'm trying to install anchor no to my Windows device through WSL command line. However, I'm getting this error and I'm not sure what I need to do. I was following the direction in the following YouTube video for installing tools for Solana development and I'm stuck on the Anchor installation part.

I tried using ChatGPT, but it keeps suggesting me to install DockerFile, which I'm not sure if that's correct. Does anyone know what to do in this situation?
Looks like stdsimd was removed in recent updates on late February 2024, You can work around this issue by installing an older version of Rust. From the release tags looks like version 1.76.0 is latest release with stdsimd. You can install it using command
rustup install 1.76.0
