How To Build and Run From Source

You can install the nukeeper dotnet tool of current build using the InstallNuKeeperDotNetTool (.bat for Windows, .sh for macOS and Linux) found in the root of the repository.

Note: this overrides your existing global installation of the NuKeeper dotnet tool.

You can build and package the tool using the following commands. The instructions assume that you are in the root of the repository.

dotnet pack .\NuKeeper\NuKeeper.csproj -o ".\artifacts"
dotnet tool install nukeeper --global --add-source ".\artifacts"
nukeeper --version

Note: On macOS and Linux, .\NuKeeper\NuKeeper.csproj and .\artifacts will need be switched to ./NuKeeper/NuKeeper.csproj and ./artifacts to accommodate for the different slash directions.
