## ⚒️ Building
1. Clone the repository using git and change to the local repository directory:

cd DownOnSpot
```
2. Build
```bash

```
> [!NOTE]
> You need [this private SSH key](assets/free_librespot_private_key) to clone a dependency of DownOnSpot in order to use it with a free Spotify account.
> Follow [this answer by DopeGhoti on stackexchange.com](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/494485) to set up SSH with the private key.
> A sample `~/.ssh/config` file could look like this:
>
> ```text
> Host github.com
> IdentityFile ~/.ssh/free_librespot_private_key
> ```
>
> If you do not want to use `free-librespot` (i.e. if you are using a paid Spotify account), replace `git = "ssh://git@github.com/oSumAtrIX/free-librespot.git"` with `librespot = "0.4.2"` inside the `Cargo.toml` file.
> [!WARNING]
> If you get a linker error, you might be missing the [libmp3lame](https://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-libraries.php#libmp3lame) library.
> On Mac OS, run `brew install lame,` provided you have [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) installed.
