Building and Usage

MongoDB is now required along with Go 1.20. Edit db.go to reflect your Mongo URI string

Uncomment line 6 and 38 before building for the first time in main.go, then uncomment after first use

After first run, recomment and build once again by running:

user@computer:~$ go build Ugle

And you're good to go!
