Install

This installation guide is exclusively for Mac. To install in other OSs, install what is equivalent of requirements in the target OS.

1. Install Docker

• docker-compose: $ brew install docker-compose

OR

• $ brew cask install docker

Above command installs not only Docker itself but also Docker Desktop on Mac, docker-compose and docker-machine too.

Set language-specific settings

Go

• with Go installed on local machine

go mode init github.com/[github_name]/[repo_name]
go get github.com/labstack/echo/v4
go get github.com/labstack/echo/v4/middleware

• fill out your own github_name and repo_name
• using repo URI for init's argument is just a convention: it can be any plain text
