### Building and Running
First, make sure Go 1.18 or newer is installed on your system. Older versions will not work.
If you are planning to run it on the same machine as the one you're building on, simply run
```
go build
```
And then you can start the bot with
```
./lemmy-reply-bot
```
If you want to run it on a different machine than the one you're building on, for example, a Raspberry Pi, you can build it like this:
```
GOARCH=arm64 go build
```
If your raspberry pi is 32-bit, use `arm` instead of `arm64`. Then, you can run it the same way I described above.
