If you've built the design once from the IDE then you should open up the Nios II shell, change to the Debug or Release directory and type `make -s`.

If you want to do everything without the IDE then you'll need to use nios2-create-* to create the project and then nios2-build-project to build the ELF file from there. There are command line tools to download and debug from the command line available too.
