Adding Pallets to Substrate

This is a very basic question, but I am following the "nicks" tutorial from the Substrate network, and it's not very clear how - after I have added the pallet - I install or "pull in" these dependencies so I can inspect the code. I was expecting something like node_modules folder where everything is put once you run npm i, but that is a different environment. I have run cargo build but to no avail. Please advise.

When you add dependency in Cargo.toml, by default, the actual dependency will download and store on global Cargo registry $HOME/.cargo/ and specify the version in Cargo.lock inside project directory, not the actual dependency.

For a tutorial on Substrate, after adding Nick's pallet and running cargo build, you can check the code of downloaded pallet_nick in $HOME/.cargo/. The easiest way is to download rust_analyzer plugin to your VSCode and CRTL + Click to the dependency name inside Cargo.toml, it will take you to the library.
