Dependencies are installed via NuGet. Package restore has been enabled for this solution. That means that in order to build, you have to be running a recent version of NuGet and have "Allow NuGet to download missing packages during build" enabled in the settings as shown here.
Note: if you having trouble upgrading NuGet, see this
After the dependencies have been downloaded by NuGet, it should build. Build it using the build.cmd file. Run the exe in place or install as dotnet tool for convenient access.
