From the application root or wherever `mbed-os.lib` is found, run the following command to:
* create the Mbed OS configuration CMake module
* create a build directory
* generate the project configuration
* build the project using the `Ninja` build system
```
mbedtools configure -m <mbed-target> -t <toolchain>
mbedtools build -m <mbed-target> -t <toolchain>
```
1. Run the following command to create a build directory, generate the project configuration and build the project using `Ninja`:
`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` can overridden with Mbed specific values: `Develop` (default value), `Release` and `Debug`.
```
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -GNinja && cmake --build .
```
The default build type is `Develop`. Use `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` to select `Develop`, `Release` or `Debug` as follows:
`mbed-tools` will pass `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<supported-build-type>` for you when using the `--build-type` optional argument of the `build` subcommand as follows:
```
cmake .. -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<supported-build-type> && cmake --build .
mbedtools build -m <mbed-target> -t <toolchain> -b <supported-build-type>
```
If you're running CMake directly, you may need to pass it in yourself as follows:
```
cmake -S <source-dir> -B <build-dir> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug
```
