Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

This project is built on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS so the release for this project can work on any 64 bit Debian distributions. However we are planning to create a configuration for Windows in further releases This server compiles with built in 'cc' c compiler.

Compilation

It has a build script so in terminal so just run

chmod +x build
./build

This will create a 'uhttp' server binary and immediately launch a getting_started site in htdocs in the firefox browser
