Bootstrapping a new project =========================== Download the ``bootstrap.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/bootstrap.py python bootstrap.py --update This creates (or updates) the following files (an existing ``autocmake.cfg`` is not overwritten by the script):: cmake/ ├── bootstrap.py # no need to edit ├── autocmake.cfg # edit this file └── lib/ ├── config.py # no need to edit └── docopt.py # no need to edit If you use version control, then now is a good moment to status/diff/add the newly created files.
