**Required libraries for Linux: OpenSSL and zlib**

### Install OpenSSL on macOS
You must install `openssl@1.1` using the <a href="https://brew.sh">brew package manager </a>, then link openssl to `/usr/local/opt/openssl`

If you don't know how to do this, type the following commands in your terminal:

```bash
brew install openssl@1.1
ln -sf /usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1l /usr/local/opt/openssl
```

## 📚 How to use the library
### Setting up the library using Maven
If you are using Maven, edit your `pom.xml` file as below:
```xml
<project>
    <repositories>
        
        <!-- Add the following repository -->
        <repository>
            <id>mchv</id>
            <name>MCHV Apache Maven Packages</name>
            <url>https://mvn.mchv.eu/repository/mchv/</url>
        </repository>
        
    </repositories>

    <dependencies>

        <!-- Add the following dependencies -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>it.tdlight</groupId>
            <artifactId>tdlight-java</artifactId>
            <version>VERSION</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>it.tdlight</groupId>
            <artifactId>tdlight-natives-linux-amd64</artifactId>
            <version>NATIVES_VERSION</version>
        </dependency>
        <!-- Include other native versions that you want, for example for windows, osx, ... -->
        
    </dependencies>
</project>
```
Replace `VERSION` with the latest release version, you can find it [here](https://github.com/tdlight-team/tdlight-java/releases).

Replace `NATIVES_VERSION` with the latest native version.
Make sure that you are using the correct natives version for the release that you are using.

## Setting up the library using Gradle
If you are using Gradle, add the following lines into your `build.gradle` file
```groovy
repositories {
    maven { url "https://mvn.mchv.eu/repository/mchv/" }
}
dependencies {
    implementation 'it.tdlight:tdlight-java:LATEST_VERSION'
    implementation 'it.tdlight:tdlight-natives-linux-amd64:NATIVES_VERSION'
    // Include other native versions that you want, for example for windows, osx, ...
}
```
Replace `VERSION` with the latest release version, you can find it [here](https://github.com/tdlight-team/tdlight-java/releases).

Replace `NATIVES_VERSION` with the latest native version.
Make sure that you are using the correct natives version for the release that you are using.
