Getting Started

Clone this project and copy the contents to your directory structure for Go. Perform a search and replace for anything github.com/adampresley/golang-webapp-starter-kit and replace it with whatever your package structure is.

Now open the file /bower.json and modify it to match your project's criteria. This may include the project name, authors, license, and dependencies. Save your changes. You should also make similar changes in the file /package.json.

Once that is done you will need to perform a few things on the command line. The instructions below assume you have the following tools.

• NodeJS/NPM
• Bower

$ bower install
$ npm install
$ cd www/assets/promiscuous
$ node ./build/build.js

• The file /flags.go contains any command line flags your server should accept
