## Build from source
`mas` currently requires the [bundler](http://bundler.io/) RubyGem in order to
bootstrap and build the project. There are a number ways to install bundler but
if you have never used it before then installing it with `gem` should be enough.
```
$ gem install bundler
```
You can now bootstrap the project by executing the `bootstrap` script
from the mas sources script directory:
```
$ script/bootstrap
```
You can now build from Xcode by opening `mas-cli.xcodeproj`, or from the Terminal:
```
$ script/build
```
Build output can be found in the `build/` directory within the project.
