### Quick start ###

For a quick start, use the [`ergo`](https://docs.ergo.services/tools/ergo) tool — a command-line utility designed to simplify the process of generating boilerplate code for your project based on the Ergo Framework. With this tool, you can rapidly create a complete project structure, including applications, actors, supervisors, network components, and more. It offers a set of arguments that allow you to customize the project according to specific requirements, ensuring it is ready for immediate development.

To install use the following command:

```
$ go install ergo.tools/ergo@latest
```

Now, you can create your project with just one command. Here is example:

Supervision tree

```
  mynode
  ├─ myapp
  │  │
  │  └─ mysup
  │     │
  │     └─ myactor
  ├─ myweb
  └─ myactor2
```

To generate project for this design use the following command:

```
$ ergo -init MyNode \
      -with-app MyApp \
      -with-sup MyApp:MySup \
      -with-actor MySup:MyActor \
      -with-web MyWeb \
      -with-actor MyActor2 \
      -with-observer 
```

as a result you will get generated project:

```
  mynode
  ├── apps
  │  └── myapp
  │     ├── myactor.go
  │     ├── myapp.go
  │     └── mysup.go
  ├── cmd
  │  ├── myactor2.go
  │  ├── mynode.go
  │  ├── myweb.go
  │  └── myweb_worker.go
  ├── go.mod
  ├── go.sum
  └── README.md
```

to try it:

```
$ cd mynode
$ go run ./cmd
```

Since we included Observer application, open http://localhost:9911 to inspect your node and running processes.
