Go into the src folder and run of these commands.

Note

For building hestia-nginx / hestia-php packages at least 2 GB memory is required!

./hst_autocompile.sh --hestia --install '~localsrc'

./hst_autocompile.sh --all --install '~localsrc'

./hst_autocompile.sh --hestia --noinstall --keepbuild '~localsrc'

Any option can be appended to the installer command.

For automated testing we currently use Bats (Bash Automated Testing System)
