Development Environment

Prerequisites

Before getting started you will need the Rust stable and nightly tool-chains installed on your system. This is easily achieved with [rustup]:

rustup install stable
rustup toolchain install nightly --component rust-src

Once you have the Rust tool-chains installed, you must also install the bpf-linker - for linking our eBPF program - and cargo-generate - for generating the project skeleton.

cargo +nightly install bpf-linker
cargo install cargo-generate

Starting A New Project

To start a new project, you can use cargo-generate:

cargo generate https://github.com/dave-tucker/aya-template

This will prompt you for a project name. We'll be using myapp in this example
