### Clone the Repository

First, clone the repository:

```bash
git clone --branch rust https://github.com/khumnath/nepdate-cli.git
cd nepdate-cli
```

### Build the Program

1. Make sure to give execution permissions to the `build.sh` script:
    ```bash
    chmod +x build.sh
    ```

2. Run the `build.sh` script to build the program and set up the build folder:
    ```bash
    ./build.sh
    ```

This script will:
- Compile the program in release mode and store the output in the `target` directory.
- Display the path to the executable.
- Test the program by running it.

The executable path should be printed in the terminal, and after 2 seconds, the program will be test run automatically.
