You can find the SDK at https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download.

2. Install the template

> dotnet new --install Cake.Frosting.Template

3. Create a new Frosting project

Now it's time to create a new Frosting project.
Go to the repository where you want to add a new Frosting build script and run the following command:

> dotnet new cakefrosting

4. Profit

Now you should be able to run your newly created builds script.

> ./build.ps1

NOTE: You're not supposed to commit the produced binaries to your repository.
The above command is what you're expected to run from your bootstrapper.
