Rather than a +1, perhaps a quick addendum to the README.md on how to go about installing this. It's a bit beyond me at the moment, but mysql percona xtrabackup relies on qpress internally to decompress compressed and streamed content, and I have no idea how I can get this installed on a an apple M1 at the moment. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi @roni-estein,

If you have the Xcode Command Line Tools installed on your mac (if not, you can get them with xcode-select --install), you can do the following from Terminal:

1. git clone git@github.com:PierreLvx/qpress.git and then cd qpress
2. make (this will compile qpress source's code to an executable binary)
3. make install (this will install the compiled binary on your computer)

Then, qpress will be available.

N.B.: I do not have M1 hardware to test and confirm that the code will compile without issues (but I have no reasons to believe otherwise because its a pretty small codebase), so if you run into any errors, do not hesitate to raise new issues and report back!
