 The simplest way of running the tests is as described by the meson man page:
 
 ```
-meson builddir && meson test -C builddir
+meson setup builddir && meson setup test -C builddir
 ```
 
 Alternatively, tests can be run in the OpenBMC CI docker container, or with an
 OpenBMC x86 sdk(see below for x86 steps).
 
 ```
-meson -Doe-sdk=enabled build
+meson setup -Doe-sdk=enabled build
 ninja -C build test
