2. Clone and build the project.
```
git clone https://github.com/ParajuliBkrm/macos-nepali-input-tool.git
cd macos-nepali-input-tool
./build.sh
```
if you get this error
```
xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance
```
then run this command
```
sudo xcode-select -r
```
