Xactor requires async-trait on userland.
With cargo add installed, run:
$ cargo add xactor
$ cargo add async-traitWe also provide the tokio runtime instead of async-std. To use it, you need to activate runtime-tokio and disable default features.
You can edit your Cargo.toml as follows:
xactor = { version = "x.x.x", features = ["runtime-tokio"], default-features = false }
