Gonic is a web framework written in the Go programming language. In this tutorial, we will go step by step to install Gonic on Elementary OS Latest.
Make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Open a terminal on your system.
Run the following command to install Gonic:
go get github.com/sentriz/gonic
This command will download and install Gonic and all its dependencies.
Once the installation is complete, navigate to your project directory and create a new Go file with the following code:
package main
import (
"github.com/sentriz/gonic"
)
func main() {
router := gonic.NewRouter()
// Set up routes here
// ...
router.Run(":8080")
}
This code creates a new router using Gonic and starts the server on port 8080.
Save the file and run the following command in the terminal to build and run the Go program:
go run your_file_name.go
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080. You should see a default welcome page indicating that Gonic is up and running.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Gonic on your Elementary OS Latest system! Now you're ready to start building web applications using Gonic.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
