See the Nitrogen Project website for additional information.

WARNING: Make sure you commit to version control before running this - it will change your working directory heavily
WARNING 2: Running scripts directly from the internet is dumb. Review this script's code before you run it. But if you really want to do it this way, here you go.

Instructions for building on windows can be found in rel/overlay/win
nitrogen_core is where you would find the vast majority of Nitrogen's codebase, should you wish to contribute or make changes.
