Build and install from source with Pixi

To build Coal from source the easiest way is to use Pixi.

Pixi is a cross-platform package management tool for developers that will install all required dependencies in .pixi directory. It's used by our CI agent so you have the guarantee to get the right dependencies.

Run the following command to install dependencies, configure, build and test the project:

pixi run test

The project will be built in the build directory. You can run pixi shell and build the project with cmake and ninja manually.
