+The commits listed are ones known to work. It might be a good idea to first
+test with the latest commits for each project, and if they don't seem to work,
+revert to the listed commits.
+
+Chihaya is known to crash under high load.

+
+### Usage
+
+Install dependencies. This is done differently for different Linux
+distributions. On Debian 12, run:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install -y curl cmake build-essential pkg-config git screen cvs zlib1g zlib1g-dev golang
+curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
+source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
+```
+
+Optionally install latest Linux kernel. On Debian 12, you can do so from backports:
+
+```sh
+sudo echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
+sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y linux-image-amd64/bookworm-backports
+# You will have to restart to boot into the new kernel
+```
+
+Compile aquatic_udp, aquatic_udp_load_test and aquatic_udp_bencher:
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/greatest-ape/aquatic.git && cd aquatic
+# Optionally enable certain native platform optimizations
+. ./scripts/env-native-cpu-without-avx-512
+cargo build --profile "release-debug" -p aquatic_udp --features "io-uring"
+cargo build --profile "release-debug" -p aquatic_udp_load_test
+cargo build --profile "release-debug" -p aquatic_bencher --features udp
+cd ..
+```
+
+Compile and install opentracker:
+
+```sh
+cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.fefe.de:/cvs -z9 co libowfat
+cd libowfat
+make
+cd ..
+git clone git://erdgeist.org/opentracker
+cd opentracker
+# Optionally enable native platform optimizations
+sed -i "s/^OPTS_production=-O3/OPTS_production=-O3 -march=native -mtune=native/g" Makefile
+make
+sudo cp ./opentracker /usr/local/bin/
+cd ..
+```
+
+Compile and install chihaya:
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/chihaya/chihaya.git
+cd chihaya
+go build ./cmd/chihaya
+sudo cp ./chihaya /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+Compile and install torrust-tracker:
+
+```sh
+git clone git@github.com:torrust/torrust-tracker.git
+cd torrust-tracker
+cargo build --release 
+cp ./target/release/torrust-tracker /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+You might need to raise locked memory limits:
+
+```sh
+ulimit -l 65536
+```
+
+Run the bencher:
+
+```sh
+cd aquatic
+./target/release-debug/aquatic_bencher udp
+# or print info on command line arguments
+./target/release-debug/aquatic_bencher udp --help
+```
