3. Set your GOPATH environment variable
4. Open a terminal/command prompt
5. Use cd (Windows, Linux/macOS) to navigate to a directory of choice
6. Run go get github.com/fluofoxxo/outrun and wait until the command line returns
7. Run go build github.com/fluofoxxo/outrun and wait until the build is complete
8. Run the produced executable (outrun.exe on Windows, outrun on Linux/macOS)

Modifying an APK to connect to your instance (from Windows)

1. Install dnSpy (dnSpy-netcore-win64.zip)
2. Install 7-Zip
3. Install ZipSigner on an Android device or emulator
4. Open a Sonic Runners v2.0.3 APK file with 7-Zip
5. Navigate to assets/bin/Data/Managed and extract all the DLL files to their own folder
6. Open Assembly-CSharp.dll in dnSpy
7. Open the class NetBaseUtil, and find the variable mActionServerUrlTable
8. Edit every string in the mActionServerUrlTable array to http://<IP>:<PORT>/ where <IP> is replaced by the IP for your instance and <PORT> is replaced by the port for your instance (Default: 9001)
9. Repeat step 7 for mSecureActionServerUrlTable
10. If you have an assets server, use its IP and port to replace the values in mAssetURLTable and mInformationURLTable to http://<IP>:<PORT>/assets/ and http://<IP>:<PORT>/information/ respectively
11. Click File -> Save Module... and save the DLL file
12. Drag the newly saved Assembly-CSharp.dll back into assets/bin/Data/Managed in 7-Zip, confirming to overwrite if asked
13. Transfer the APK to an Android device and use ZipSigner to sign it
14. Install the APK
