Multi arch builds

[kurczynski]

The current Linux builds are only for amd64. I'm using a Linux VM on an AArch64 and would like to use this. That is all 😃

Hi @kurczynski, I'm glad to hear you're finding the project useful!

At the moment, there’s no native executable available mostly because those builds are a bit expensive to produce, and depend on the runners available on GitHub free. That said, I’ll see what I can do, as Linux ARM is more and more common.

In the meantime, you should be able to run bitdowntoc on Linux ARM using the executable JAR. The only requirement is a JRE (Java Runtime Environment), and if you're using Homebrew, it should handle that part for you 🙂

Let me know if that works for you, and thanks again for taking the time to report this!

It seems GitHub now supports Linux ARM runners -> https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners#standard-github-hosted-runners-for-public-repositories 🥳

However:

The arm64 Linux and Windows runners are in public preview and subject to change.
