## Getting started
Start by adding the `rebar3` template for Nova. This can be done by running the installation script;
*Via curl*
```bash
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/novaframework/nova/master/tools/install.sh)"
```
*Via wget*
```bash
sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/novaframework/nova/master/tools/install.sh)"
```
After this is done use `rebar3` to generate a new project with Nova.
```bash
rebar3 new nova my_first_nova
```
## Documentation
Hex docs: https://hexdocs.pm/nova/
More on how things work can be read in the docs [Introduction](docs/).
## Contributing
Contribution is welcome to Nova. Check our [CODE OF CONDUCT](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) for more information. We will add features and bugs to the issues list.
### 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 the compilation it will start a shell that says which port it is running on and a few debug lines.
When the shell is started, open a browser and go to localhost:8080 which will point to the `my_first_nova` server running Nova.
#### Using auto reloading (BETA)
If you want to be able to change a src-file and have it automatically compiled and reload you can use the `auto` plugin for rebar3:
```bash
rebar3 auto
```
This has only been tested briefly and therefore we mark it as *BETA*.
