\page buildmeson Build a Discord Bot Using Meson
## 1. Toolchain
Before compiling, you will need to install `meson` on your system. To be sure that `meson` is installed, you can type the following command:
```bash
meson --version
0.63.2
```
## 2. Create a Meson project
First, you'll need to go ahead and create an empty directory, we'll call it `meson-project`.
Then, run this command:
```bash
meson init -l cpp
```
## 3. Configuring Your Meson Project
Add the following line after the `project()` line in your `meson.build` file.
```yml
dpp = dependency('dpp')
```
Add the following line in the executable section of your `meson.build` file.
```yml
dependencies: [dpp]
```
Change the `cpp_std` value in the `project()` to `c++17`. Your `meson.build` should look like this:
your meson.build should look like this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~yml
project('discord-bot', 'cpp',
version : '0.1',
default_options : ['warning_level=3',
'cpp_std=c++17'])
dpp = dependency('dpp')
exe = executable('discord', 'discord_bot.cpp',
install : true, dependencies: [dpp])
test('basic', exe)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meson automatically generates a cpp for your project. And a test suite.
## 4. Building
To build a Meson project, run the following:
```bash
meson setup builddir
meson compile -C builddir
```
Now, your Meson project should be all setup!
**Have fun!**
