Open your terminal and execute

$ go get github.com/sheng/air

done.

The only requirement is the Go, at least v1.8.

Create a file named hello.go

package main

import "github.com/sheng/air"

func main() {
	a := air.New()
	a.GET("/", homeHandler)
	a.Serve()
}

func homeHandler(c *air.Context) error {
	return c.String("Hello, 世界")
}

and run it

$ go run hello.go

then visit http://localhost:2333.
