Installation

Development Environment Options

You can choose between containerized or native development:

Option 1: Fully Native (Go Installation Required)

If you prefer a native Go setup:

1. Install Go and Air on your system
2. Use the provided scripts in ./bin directory
3. Run a project in development mode: ./bin/bird.sh (Build/Install/Run - Development mode)

Option 2: ACT & DevT (Recommended)

The preferred way to develop X-Go applications:

1. Install ACT (Apps Control Tower) from GitHub
2. On ACT’s homepage, select “Install development tools” to install DevT (Developer Tools)
3. DevT provides a complete local developer environment with all necessary tooling
4. ACT manages the full application lifecycle after development

This combination streamlines your workflow.
