basic_webserver

This is a super light and fast webserver built with Kemal (http://kemalcr.com/)

Install Crystal

You need to have Crystal installed first. Some good instructions are here https://crystal-lang.org/docs/.

Below are the general steps.

On a Mac

• brew update
• brew install crystal-lang

On linux

• curl http://dist.crystal-lang.org/apt/setup.sh | sudo bash
• sudo apt-get install crystal

You can check crystal is properly installed with: crystal --version (You probably want to alias crystal to cr)

Build

Change to the project directory and run:

• shards install pull in dependencies
• quick build: crystal build src/basic_webserver
• release build: crystal build --release src/basic_webserver

Running the server

./basic_webserver

To run on port 80: sudo ./basic_webserver -p 80
