## Getting started

Start by add the rebar3 template for Nova.

```bash
cd installer
./installer.sh
```

After this is done use rebar3 to generate a new project with Nova.

```bash
rebar3 new nova my_first_nova
```

We will add a homepage soon.

## Contributing

### Generating a Nova project

Start a new project with:

```bash
rebar3 new nova my_first_nova
```

That will generate a Nova project for you.

```bash
rebar3 shell
```

This will fetch all dependencies and compile. After compilation it will start a shell that also say what port it is running on and some debug lines.

When the shell is started, open a browser and go to localhost:8080 and it will point to the my_first_nova server running Nova.
