 5. 编译，如果想自己编译,先cd到项目根目录，然后windows下直接运行`build.bat`,linux下运行`build.sh`,编译后会在`release`
    目录下生成对应的可执行文件。直接运行编译后的可执行文件即可。

 5. To compile, change to the project root directory. For Windows, run `build.bat`, and for Linux, run `build.sh`. After
    compiling, the corresponding executables will be generated in the `release` directory. Run the compiled executables
