Guide walkthrough: Getting Started pages

Step 1 install swift

• You can then extract files to system root. ( not obvious how to achieve this) • Where ${PATH} is the path to your Swift installation. ('${PATH}' points to existing env variable) • For this installation method you need to have npm installed. (unbuntu offers the ability to install npm via system tools, which is broken. Should we recommend full node installation)

Step 2 next steps • need to have git client installed • kitura init fails ('Generator-Swiftserver-Projects' /home/wbittles/MyKituraApp: error: could not find source files for target(s): Generator-Swiftserver-Projects; use the 'path' property in the Swift 4 manifest to set a custom target path) Kitura init fails on Linux #42

Next steps

Routing: Learn about routing and the two types Kitura supports. (the next step is actually logging)

wbittles commented 5 years ago

Kitura init creates a Package.swift file with the following .testTarget(name: "ApplicationTests" , dependencies: [.target(name: "Application"), "Kitura","HeliumLogger" ]) This section is not referred to in any of the guides.

Have updated the path instructions in pr #379.
I think we can assume the user has git installed or will install it when they see the error message
Kitura init has been fixed on linux
CLI and macOS skip logging since it is added by default. SPM links to the logging section
We need a testing guide. this should be raised as a separate issue.
