Getting Started with NAnt

Before you can start automating your .NET projects with NAnt, you need a working installation. Head over to the official site and grab the latest stable release. The download page offers two options: a portable ZIP bundle and an installer. If you prefer a quick, no‑install setup, unzip the portable version into a folder like C:\Tools\NAnt. If you want a system‑wide installation, run the installer and choose the default path. Once NAnt is extracted or installed, add the directory that contains nant.exe to your PATH environment variable. This allows you to invoke the tool from any command prompt without typing the full path.

After setting up the environment, open a new command window and type nant -version. The output should look something like:

Prompt
NAnt Version 0.92.3.1 (Build 0.92.3.1) (http://nant.sourceforge.net)
