+   ```bash
+   cargo install cargo-zigbuild
+   brew install zig
+   ```
+
+2. Add the Linux target:
+   ```bash
+   rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
+   ```
+
+3. Build:
+   ```bash
+   cargo zigbuild --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
+   ```
+
+The binary will be at `target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/log_ingest`.
