Optional Dependency

the tool not only get the IP address it also get geolocation info of your IP address using ipify. they have a nice free plan of 1000 request per month which is nice for personal use. so if you want the Geolocation part to work please do the following:

• create an account at ipify
• get the apiKey of your own
• rename example.env file to .env file and past your apiKey there on there

otherwise just ignore that part.

Build the project yourself

• clone the repo

I personally prefer the link version as it keep the bin updated when I rebuild the package, you got the options suit yourself.
