Our global tool Nuke.GlobalTool is the most elegant way to use NUKE (requires .NET Core 2.1.300 or higher). It provides a single command nuke for initial setup and regular building:

# One-time install
$ dotnet tool install -g Nuke.GlobalTool

# Regular usage
$ nuke !setup [-default]    # setup a new build
$ nuke <arguments>          # execute build

If you cannot install or use the global tool, you can also use PowerShell or Bash:

# PowerShell
$ powershell -Command iwr https://nuke.build/powershell -OutFile setup.ps1
$ powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File ./setup.ps1

# Bash
$ curl -Lsfo setup.sh https://nuke.build/bash
$ chmod +x setup.sh; ./setup.sh

On our website there is a complete getting started guide that explains all the basics of this project.
