## Installation

You need your input text in plain text; [Project Gutenberg](https://www.gutenberg.org) is a good source for that. Make sure to remove all parts of the text that are not to be used as the bot's corpus.1
You will also need an access token, so register your app at a mastodon instance of choice to get one. Copy the `.env.example` to `.env` and edit it to set up the environment correctly.
Building an running the Clojure code requires [leiningen](https://leiningen.org/) version 2.8 or above.

1: This means removing the copyright notice, which is the reason why there is no text included in this repository.

```
# build it and run it
$ lein uberjar
$ java -jar target/uberjar/heyarne.frantisek-kafka-0.1.0-standalone.jar [args]
```
