Bootstrapping a new project =========================== Download the ``update.py`` and execute it to fetch other infrastructure files which will be needed to build the project:: mkdir cmake # does not have to be called "cmake" - take the name you prefer cd cmake wget https://github.com/scisoft/autocmake/raw/master/update.py python update.py --self This creates (or updates) the following files (an existing ``autocmake.cfg`` is not overwritten by the script):: cmake/ update.py # no need to edit autocmake.cfg # edit this file lib/ config.py # no need to edit docopt.py # no need to edit Note that all other listed files are overwritten (use version control!).
