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 are also required for building and running Trajectory-Trace.

  • libpq-dev The database driver for PostgreSQL
  • libssl-dev As the OpenSSL implementation 
sudo apt install \
        pkg-config \
        libssl-dev \
        libpq-dev
