This example downloads the Cake bootstrapper and executes a simple build script. The bootstrapper is used to bootstrap Cake in a simple way and is not in required in any way to execute build scripts. If you prefer to invoke the Cake executable yourself, take a look at the command line usage.
This example is also available on our homepage: https://cakebuild.net/docs/tutorials/setting-up-a-new-project
The bootstrapper is used to download Cake and the tools required by the build script.
