Welcome to Buffalo!
Thank you for choosing Buffalo for your web development needs.
Database Setup
It looks like you chose to set up your application using a database! Fantastic!
The first thing you need to do is open up the "database.yml" file and edit it to use the correct usernames, passwords, hosts, etc... that are appropriate for your environment.
You will also need to make sure that you start/install the database of your choice. Buffalo won't install and start it for you.
Create Your Databases
Ok, so you've edited the "database.yml" file and started your database, now Buffalo can create the databases in that file for you:
$ buffalo pop create -a
Starting the Application
Buffalo ships with a command that will watch your application and automatically rebuild the Go binary and any assets for you. To do that run the "buffalo dev" command:
$ buffalo dev
If you point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:3000 you should see a "Welcome to Buffalo!" page.
Congratulations! You now have your Buffalo application up and running.
What Next?
We recommend you heading over to http://gobuffalo.io and reviewing all of the great documentation there.
Good luck!
