# CLI
Since Version 2.2, Random Bunny contains a command line interface (CLI).
## Downloads
The project can be downloaded as a binary for your system via the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/Vylpes/random-bunny/releases) or [Gitea Releases](https://gitea.vylpes.xyz/RabbitLabs/random-bunny/releases) page.
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`.
> **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.
## Default Output
By default, the command will fetch a random image from `r/rabbits` and return it in a human-readable output.
```
$ randombunny
Archived = false
Downvotes = 0
Hidden = false
Permalink = /r/Rabbits/comments/1av1rg9/cute_baby_bun/
Subreddit = Rabbits
Subreddit Subscribers = 486084
Title = Cute baby bun
Upvotes = 211
Url = https://i.redd.it/sfz0srdrimjc1.png
```
## Help
The command also includes a help option in case you are stuck.
```
$ randombunny --help
# or
$ randombunny -h

```
## JSON output
You can also convert the output into JSON, if you need to input it to another program.
```bash
$ randombunny --json
# or
$ randonbunny -j
{"Archived":false,"Downs":0,"Hidden":false,"Permalink":"/r/Rabbits/comments/1av1rg9/cute_baby_bun/","Subreddit":"Rabbits","SubredditSubscribers":486085,"Title":"Cute baby bun","Ups":210,"Url":"https://i.redd.it/sfz0srdrimjc1.png"}
```
## 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".
```
$ randombunny --sort hot
$ randombunny --sort new
$ randomBunny --sort top
```
## Subreddit
You can change the subreddit which the command fetches from.
This defaults to "rabbits"
```
$ randombunny --subreddit rabbits
$ randombunny -s horses
```
