1. Regardless of how you want to run FediFetcher, you must first get an access token:
   Getting an Access Token for FediFetcher

2. Once you have to your access token, there are multiple ways of running FediFetcher. None of these require you to have CLI/SSH access to your mastodon server. These include, but aren't limited to:
   

   • Running FediFetcher as a GitHub Action
     Ideal if you don't have your own hardware, and/or have little experience running servers. This is all point and click within GitHub's interface.
   • Running FediFetcher as a cron job
     Ideal if you already have a linux device, and want to simply run FediFetcher on there.
   • Running FediFetcher from a container
     Ideal if you are familiar with containers.
   • Running FediFetcher as a systemd timer
     Ideal if you have a linux device somewhere, but don't like cron jobs.
   • Running FediFetcher as a Scheduled Task in Windows
     Ideal if you are a Windows User and your main device is (almost) always running.
