FAQ:
Q1. How to create engines.json file?
A1. banksia -u -d c:\chess\engines
where:
    c:\chess\engines is the path of your engines and engines.json file will be
    created in the same folder where banksia.exe is.
That command line also creates a tour.json file that can be edited and used to
run a tournament.

Q2. How to run a tournament?
A2. Create a tournament file say tour.json then type,
banksia -t c:\banksia\tour.json
