To get started with ntools, you need to install the latest version of 64-bit Git for Windows on your machine, then follow these steps:

• Open a PowerShell in administrative mode. Assume c:\source as directory %MainDirectory% which will be used through this document.
• Clone this repository to your local machine from the %MainDirectory% folder.

cd c:\source
git clone https://github.com/naz-hage/ntools

• Change the PowerShell execution policy to allow the installation script to run. Run the following command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process

This command will allow the installation script to run. Once the installation is complete, the execution policy will revert to its original state.

• Run the following command to install the ntools:

cd c:\source\ntools\dev-setup
.\install.ps1

• This command will install the Dotnet Core Desktop runtime and download the ntools from GitHub, installs the ntools package in the %ProgramFiles%\Nbuild folder, sets up the nTools development environment, adds the %ProgramFiles%\Nbuild will be added to the system path.

After the installation is complete, check out the nbuild.targets for more all the available targets, and navigate to Usage to learn how to execute a build target.
