Compiling

Note: You probably only want to compile from source if you intend on making changes to the code. If all you want is the absolute latest build:

• Make sure you are signed into GitHub
• Go to https://github.com/PazerOP/tf2_bot_detector/actions?query=workflow%3Abuild
• Click on the latest build
• Download one of the artifacts that starts with the name tf2_bot_detector_
