Requirements

info

This guide assumes you are building the project with a Debian based system. You can also do so on other Linux distributions or Windows but you'll have to adapt the instructions accordingly.

Installing the Rust Toolchain

Use the official instructions to install the Rust Toolchain onto your system.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

This installs rustup, which is the version manager for the Rust language and its build tools. Additionally you'll use cargo that is the build tool and package/dependency manager for Rust projects. Both are installed with the script and can be found under the ~/.cargo/bin directory. So make sure to include the directory in your PATH environment variable (the installation script should automatically do so).

export PATH=$PATH:~/.cargo/bin

System Dependencies

Some shared libraries and executables are also required for building and running Trajectory-Trace.

• libpq-dev The database driver for PostgreSQL
• libssl-dev As the OpenSSL implementation
• protobuf-compiler For compiling protobuf schemas

apt

sudo apt install \
      pkg-config \
      libssl-dev \
      libpq-dev
