+# Generate a build script for an existing project
+
+With `meson init` you can generate a build script for an existing
+project with existing project files by running the command in the
+root directory of your project. Meson currently supports this
+feature for `executable`, and `jar` projects.
+
+# Build after generation of template
+
+It is possible to have Meson generate a build directory from the
+`meson init` command without running `meson setup`. This is done
+by passing `-b` or `--build` switch.
+
+```console
+$ mkdir project_name
+$ cd project_name
+$ meson init --language=c --name=myproject --version=0.1 --build
+```
