## Downloads
The project can be downloaded as a binary for your system via the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/Vylpes/random-bunny/releases) or [Forgejo Releases](https://git.vylpes.xyz/RabbitLabs/random-bunny/releases) page.
2024-04-19 18:30:12 +01:00
We currently support:
- Linux (x64)
- Windows (x64)
- macOS (x64, Arm64\*)
The git repository can also be cloned and ran via `yarn build` and `yarn start`.
You can produce the binary using the `yarn package` command. This creates the binaries in the `./bin` folder.

> **NOTE:** We are aware of a bug in the macOS Arm64 builds failing to execute. For now you're still able to use the x64 builds under Rosetta fine. This will hopefully be fixed in a future release.

```
## Sort
You can also choose the sorting option which reddit will use to return the available posts to randomise from.
This defaults to "hot". The valid options are "hot", "new", and "top".
```
$ random-bunny --sort hot
$ random-bunny --sort new
$ random-bunny --sort top
```
## Subreddit
You can change the subreddit which the command fetches from.
This defaults to "rabbits"

## Output to file
If you'd rather send the output to a file, you can supply the `-o` flag.
```
$ randombunny -o ~/Desktop/output.txt
```
## Reddit API Return Limits
You can also limit the amount the posts the script requests from the Reddit API
using the `--limit` option.
This defaults to 100. This accepts any number between 1 and 100.
Please note limiting the calls to less than 100 will give a higher chance of
the script not finding any valid image post to return.
```
$ random-bunny --limit 50
```
