# gosocial
## Building
Use the Makefile:
* `make setup`: install Go dependencies
* `make build`: builds the program to ./gosocial
* `make run`: run the app from Go sources in debug mode
## Configuring
On first run it will generate a `settings.json` file in the current
working directory (which is intended to be the root of the git clone,
with the ./web folder). Edit it to configure mail settings or choose
a database.
For simple local development, just set `"UseSQLite": true` and the
app will run with a SQLite database.
## Usage
The `gosocial` binary has sub-commands to either run the web server
or perform maintenance tasks such as creating admin user accounts.
Run `gosocial --help` for its documentation.
Run `gosocial web` to start the web server.
## Create Admin User Accounts
Use the `gosocial user add` command like so:
```bash
$ gosocial user add --admin \
--email name@domain.com \
--password secret \
--username admin
```
Shorthand options `-e`, `-p` and `-u` can work in place of the longer
options `--email`, `--password` and `--username` respectively.
