There are two ways to start a firefly application, building by maven, or just run it on eclipse simply.

1. Clone firefly source code from Github.
2. Find the demo project 'firefly-demo', modify the log path in firefly-log.properties, you can find it in 'firefly-demo/src/main/resources', in this case, you Must modify these two rows to your own location

firefly-system=INFO,/Users/qiupengtao/develop/logs
firefly-access=INFO,/Users/qiupengtao/develop/logs

When you have finished these operations above-mentioned, run maven command 'mvn test' and 'mvn compile', then run the class 'App' and visit the URL http://localhost:8080/index in your browser, you will see the 'Hello World'.

1. Clone firefly source code from Github.
2. Open Eclipse IDE and import the demo project - 'firefly-benchmark'
3. Modify the log path in firefly-log.properties, you can find it in 'firefly-benchmark/src', in this case, you Must modify these two rows to your own location

firefly-system=INFO,/Users/qiupengtao/develop/logs
firefly-access=INFO,/Users/qiupengtao/develop/logs

When you have finished these operations above-mentioned, run the class 'Bootstrap' and visit the URL http://localhost:8080/ in your browser, you will see the 'Hello World'.
