+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install libssl-dev zsh build-essential pkg-config git gcc clang libclang-dev
+sudo useradd github-runner -m -s /bin/zsh
+```
+
+Add sudo capability for github-runner:
+
+```bash
+sudo visudo
+# github-runner  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
+```
+
+Login and install rust:
+
+```bash
+sudo su github-runner
+cd $HOME
+curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
+```
+
+Other than that, follow the steps listed under Settings -> Actions -> Runner -> Add runner:

+source $HOME/.cargo/env
+./run.sh
+```
+
+## Starting the runner as systemd service

+```bash
+cd $HOME/actions-runner
