Is there anything I should noticed?

error[E0554]: #![feature] may not be used on the stable release channel

Did you try running it on a nightly compiler? cargo +nighty test ?

[bo-hub]

@rubdos Thanks for this， I missed the build instruction. I used apt command in Ubuntu to install rust.
Now I removed the rust and reinstall it by

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Then I run the command rustup default nightly to have nightly Rust installed.
But the cargo test command get another error info.

@bo-hub I have the same problem, have you solved it?

[bo-hub]

@wuliuqii Not yet

[rubdos]

Sounds like you'll need to figure out which exact version of nightly you need. Did you try with nightly-2019-07-31, as suggested by the rust-toolchain file?

[bo-hub]

@rubdos
I followed the version change advice by rustup default nightly-2019-07-31.

$ rustup default nightly-2019-07-31
info: using existing install for 'nightly-2019-07-31-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'
info: default toolchain set to 'nightly-2019-07-31-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'

  nightly-2019-07-31-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu unchanged - rustc 1.38.0-nightly (dddb7fca0 2019-07-30)

info: note that the toolchain 'nightly-2019-07-31-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' is currently in use (overridden by '/home/tours/code/crypto/zkproof/dalek-bulletproof/bulletproofs/rust-toolchain')
