• Run scons test to run Runtime tests.
• Run scons --qemu-curses to build and run qemu

Building via Docker

• Build the Docker image: docker build -t fluorite-builder .

• Use the image to compile the code: docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/build -t fluorite-builder

• Any arguments to scons can be passed in like this: docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/build -t fluorite-builder -- test <- runs scons test within the container.
