Error Trying to run Rubia on a single VM - note: module requires Go 1.17 about rabia

[haochenpan]

Thanks for your thorough investigation and updating the installation script for Rabia! I have merged the PR. If you have any other questions, please feel free to message me on GitHub or through email, and contact Professor Lewis Tseng : )

Hello,

Thanks for your interest in our work!

I am not sure how sys package is introduced in the first place. Maybe a Go package here imports it? If that's the case, I think Rabia also works for Go 1.17; please feel free to change the install.sh script to install the latest Rabia version. If you have time, submit a pull request if you find that works.

Hello Haochen, thanks for your response.
I find Rabia very interesting! the goal about reduce the complexity of the implementation is so good and I am studying this topic as my undergraduate thesis.

Syscall package is defined in the main.go file of Rabia here

According to my review, the sys package showed in the above error is a dependency of the syscall package so sys is defined in the go.mod file of syscall package

Seeing the error message, the sys version invoked is [email protected]. I have seen the go.mod file of the sys package here and it requires Go 1.17 or later so Rabia can not compile it having installed Go version 1.15.8 as defined its install.sh.

Following your suggestion I changed the Go version from 1.15.8 defined in install.sh to the latest Go version 1.20.2 and It works!

I could successfully run Rabia (step 3) with single.sh using a single VM (a humble one with 1GB Ram and 1vCPU) and inspect the performance statistics (btw, pretty cool “Rabia” message in the terminal while it’s starting)

I will submit a pull request with this change.

I am very happy to help! It's my first contribution ever!
I really appreciate your help Haochen! 🙌🏻 I definitely will need some guidance about Rabia so I will message you to get some lights about it and also thank you for mention the Professor Lewis Tseng.
I am just starting so I will continue studying and getting familiar with Rabia. Let's keep in contact! 😃
