## Problem compiling?
### Linux
Make sure that CMake is installed by running: ``cmake -v``, if it isn't run: ``sudo apt install cmake``.\
You also need a C/C++ compiler, this project used gcc and g++.
## How to get your VirusTotal API key?
You need to go to [the VirusTotal website](https://www.virustotal.com/gui/), then you need to go on your profile (on the top right) and you'll see a dropdown menu, click API key and the blurred out text is your API key!
