- 3. Configure the required options in `config/default.toml`
- 4. Build Magnetar: `cargo build --release --workspace --bins`
- 5. Build the Magnetar Calckey frontend: `cd fe_calckey/frontend && pnpm install && pnpm run build`
- 6. Run Magnetar: `./target/release/magnetar`
- 7. Build and run [a modified version of Calckey](https://git.astolfo.cool/natty/calckey),
-    pointed to the same database and Redis
