<h1>Getting started</h1>

<p>
   To make it easier to build websites for <a href="">Node.js</a>, we've created a set of minimal libraries to get you going.
</p>

<p>
    All you need to get started is access to <code>node</code> and can install packages with <a href="http://npmjs.org/">npm</a>.
</p>

<pre><code>npm -g install proton micro
</code></pre>

<p>
    Create <code>lib/webapp.js</code> and add the following code:
</p>

<pre><code>var micro = require('micro'),
    WebApp = exports.WebApp = micro.webapp(),
    get    = WebApp.get;

get('/', function (request, response) {
    response.ok('text/html');
    return 'hello, world';
});
</code></pre>

<p>
    Now run your app with <a href="">Proton</a>.
</p>

<pre><code>proton -r</code></pre>

<p>
    You can now visit <a href="http://localhost:8080/">http://localhost:8080/</a> in your browser to see the text "hello, world".
</p>

<p>
    The <code>-r</code> argument means that changes you make to your webapp will be automatically reloaded, making <a href="/proton/cli#development">development faster</a>.
</p>
