Fortune Backend
===============

[](#fortune-backend)

Kickstart a RESTful API for your JavaScript application.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

###### composer (recommended)

[](#composer-recommended)

composer create-project fortune/backend your-project

```

###### direct

[](#direct)

```

Getting Started
===============

[](#getting-started)

A server is required to run your application. Fortunately PHP 5.4+ comes with a development server that is very easy to get started with. Just navigate into the `public` directory using your terminal and start the server from there.

```
cd public/
php -S localhost:8000

```

Now just navigate to  using your web browser to view the main page.

> You can also use a full-fledged server such as Apache or Nginx
