.SH The setup command
Using Meson is simple and follows the common two-phase
process of most build systems. First you run Meson to
configure your build:

autodetect changes in your source tree and regenerates all files

The setup command is the default operation. If no actual command is
specified, Meson will assume you meant to do a setup. That means
that you can set up a build directory without the setup command
