Gonic is a highly performant HTTP web framework built for the Go programming language. In this tutorial, we will discuss how to install Gonic on Debian Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, you should have the following:
To install Gonic on your Debian system, you need to install some dependencies that are required by the Gonic library. You can install these dependencies with the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential git
To install Gonic, we will be using the go get command. go get downloads and installs packages and dependencies that are required by your Go application.
go get github.com/sentriz/gonic
This command will download and install Gonic on your Debian system.
To verify that Gonic is installed correctly, you can create a simple hello world project using Gonic.
Create a new directory in which to store the project files by running:
mkdir gonic-example && cd gonic-example
Next, create a new file called main.go and add the following code:
package main
import (
"net/http"
"github.com/sentriz/gonic"
)
func main() {
r := gonic.Default()
r.GET("/", func(c *gonic.Context) {
c.String(http.StatusOK, "Hello, World!")
})
r.Run(":8080")
}
Save and close the file.
Run the following command to build and run the application:
go run main.go
You will see the message Server is listening on :8080 in your terminal.
Open your web browser and visit http://localhost:8080 to see the message Hello, World!.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Gonic on your Debian system and created your first Gonic web application.
