This guide provides a detailed, step-by-step process for expert developers on how to build and start the Cilium project.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have the following installed on your system:

• Node.js (version 12.x or later)
• npm (Node Package Manager)
• Git
• Any additional dependencies as required by your specific environment.

Cloning the Repository

Begin by cloning the Cilium repository from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/cilium/cilium.git

Installing Dependencies

After cloning the repository, you will need to install the required Node.js dependencies. Navigate to the root directory of the cloned project and run:

npm install

This command installs all dependencies defined in the package.json file.

Building the Project

Once the dependencies are installed, you can build the project by executing the following command:

npm run build

This command compiles the source code and prepares the project for running. Check the console for any potential build errors.

Starting the Project

After successfully building the project, you can start it with the following command:

npm start

This command runs the compiled project. You should check the output in the terminal for any log messages that indicate the application is running correctly.

Verifying the Build

To ensure the project has been built and started correctly, you can open a web browser and go to:

http://localhost:3000

This should display the Cilium application interface, indicating that the build and start process was successful.

Conclusion

Congratulations, you have successfully built and started the Cilium project. You can now explore the project, test its features, contribute to its development, and experiment with its capabilities.

Refer to the specific documentation on the Cilium GitHub repository for more detailed guidelines, code examples, and advanced configurations.
