For windows, download rustup-init.exe.

For Linux or MacOS, run the following command in a console:

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

For more information, check rustup.rs

In a console, enter the working folder and run the following command to build:

cargo build

Then you can run rocks with

cargo run

If you want to see more logging/debugging information, in Linux/MacOS run

RUST_LOG=debug cargo run

(set the value to info outputs less information)

In windows you need to

$env:RUST_LOG="info"
cargo run

(Note: all subsequence cargo run will automatically output the log)

To make testing easier, a simple Dockerfile was created to test the code in a container.

To build the docker image run

docker build -t rocks:latest .

To run a docker container run

docker run -p 8443:8443 rocks:latest
