Creating your first project using Beego

The first and the foremost thing we have to do to start a project is to set up its basic architecture. In Beego, this can be achieved easily using a tool called bee, which we will cover in this recipe.

How to do it…

1. Install the github.com/beego/bee package using thego getcommand, as follows: 

$ go get github.com/beego/bee

2. Open a terminal to your $GOPATH/src directory and create a project using the bee new command, as follows:

$ cd $GOPATH/src
$ bee new my-first-beego-project

Once the command has executed successfully, it will create a new Beego project, and the creation steps on the console will look like the following screenshot:

3. Go to the path of the newly created project and enter bee run to compile and run the project, as follows:

$ cd $GOPATH/src/my-first-beego-project
$ bee run

Once, command has executed successfully, bee will build the project and start the application, as shown in the following screenshot:
