Install

apm install instant-build

You can start the build by either searching for "Instant build" in your command panel or via Command-B.

Configuration

instant-build requires an .atom-build.json file either at the root directory of your project, or in any of it's parent directories. instant-build will traverse the filesystem upwards until it finds a valid .atom-build.json file.

File format is compatible with that of atom-build, just with less options.
