# Kemal Tutorial
## 1. Install Crystal
```
brew update
brew install crystal-lang
```
## 2. Installing Kemal
You should create your application first:
```
crystal init app your_app
cd your_app
```
Then add *kemal* to the `shard.yml` file as a dependency.
```yml
dependencies:
kemal:
github: sdogruyol/kemal
branch: master
```
You should run `shards` to get dependencies:
```
shards install
```
It will output something like that:
```
$ shards install
Updating https://github.com/sdogruyol/kemal.git
Installing kemal (master)
```
## 3. Include Kemal into your project
Open `your_app/src/your_app.cr` and require `kemal` to use Kemal.
```ruby
require "kemal"
```
## 4. Hack your project
Do some awesome stuff with awesome Kemal.
```ruby
get "/" do
"Hello World!"
end
```
All the code should look like this:
```ruby
require "kemal"
get "/" do
"Hello World!"
end
```
## 5. Run your awesome web project.
```
crystal build --release src/your_app.cr
./your_app
```
You should see some logs like these:
```
[development] Kemal is ready to lead at http://0.0.0.0:3000
