Before you embark, ensure you have the subsequent requisites:

• BIRD: Ensure that BIRD (BGP Internet Routing Daemon) is installed and configured properly. Bird Looking Glass Proxy relies on BIRD for routing information.

• Rust: If you intend to compile the project from source, ensure you have Rust installed. You can install Rust by following the instructions on rustup.rs.

You can procure the binary executable for Bird Looking Glass Proxy from the releases page. Alternatively, you have the option to compile the project on your own.

1. Make sure that bird and traceroute are installed and available.
