@chapter QuickStart
This chapter is for building from a terminal/shell environment in as few commands as possible. If more flexibility is required you should skip this chapter and jump to @ref{overview}.

@example
@COMMAND.checkout{}
./configure --launch
@end example

The special option @command{--launch} selected launch mode and performs the following steps:

@itemize
@item assert scratch directory @file{build/} does not exist
@item create scratch directory @file{build/}
@item change to directory @file{build/}
@item launch @command{make}
@item capture build output to @file{build/log.txt}
@item echo build output
@end itemize
