Build uplink from source

1. Get source code from github:

git clone https://github.com/bytebeamio/uplink.git

2. Build uplink your system's architecture, the binary should be in target/release/

cargo build --release

For ARM systems

In case you want to run uplink on an ARM system, follow instruction given below to create an ARM compatible binary.

• Install cross. This tool uses docker to make cross compilation easier.

cargo install cross@0.2.4

• Install docker on your computer. Follow the instructions for your operating system from https://docker.io
• Build binary for the target architecture, e.g: armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf.

cross build --release --target armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

• Retreive executable from /target/<target-architecture>>/release/uplink and execute it on target device.

For Android systems

See uplink-android

See releases for pre-compiled binaries to select platforms/architectures.
