To develop eBPF programs, a Linux-based operating system with a kernel version of at least 3.18 is required. However, to fully utilize all available eBPF features and improvements, it is recommended to use a more recent kernel version.

To begin developing eBPF programs, you will need the following.

Software Requirements

Linux OS - You can have linux as a
- Primary OS
- Virtual Machine
- WSL virtualization
Clang and LLVM - compilers
libbpf - ABI’s

Provides helper functions to interact with kernel information.
bpftool
perf

Prerequisities

Having prior knowledge about Linux commands, system calls, and networking can greatly facilitate the development phase.
Basic understand of C and GO programming languages is recommended to develop eBPF programs, as eBPF programs are typically written in these languages.
