+# Speedtest Logger
+### What is it?
+This sccript runs an [internet speed test](https://speedtest.net/) at a certain interval, and saves the results to a file.
+
+### Setup:
+
+1. Clone this repo<br>`git clone https://gitdab.com/ben/speedtest.git`
+2. Install the dependencies<br>`npm install`
+3. Compile<br>`npx tsc`
+4. Create a blank `xlsx` file
+5. Set the interval and path in `dist/index.js`
+6. Start the script*<br>`node dist/index.js`
+
+
+\* I reccomend using something similar to [PM2](https://pm2.keymetrics.io/) to ensure the script is always running
