## Before you begin
Make sure to follow this [commit message convention](https://github.com/ajoslin/conventional-changelog/blob/master/conventions/angular.md) because we will auto generate a changelog with [clog](https://github.com/thoughtram/clog) in the future.
# Getting started
The easiest way to get started is to get nickel running and play around with it. Let's do that real quick!
##Clone the repository
```shell
git clone https://github.com/nickel-org/nickel.git
```
##Build nickel
```shell
cargo build --release
```
##Run the tests
```shell
cargo test
```
##Run the example
```shell
cargo run --example example
```
Then try `localhost:6767/user/4711` and `localhost:6767/bar`.
