Here's how to get started with developing Kitura itself. 1. Clone this repository. `$ git clone https://github.com/Kitura/Kitura` 2. Build and run tests. `$ swift test` You can find more info on contributing to Kitura in our [contributing guidelines](https://github.com/Kitura/Kitura/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md). ## Notes * Swift-NIO is now the default network engine via the Kitura-NIO package. If for some reason you require the old Kitura-net package, you can still enable it by setting an environment variable `KITURA_NIO=0` during build. * Most Kitura packages have been updated to require at least Swift 5.2 in order to maintain backward compatibility. ## Community We love to talk server-side Swift, and Kitura.
