# Welcome to Amber

**Amber** is a web application framework written in [Crystal](https://crystal-lang.org/) inspired by Kemal, Rails, Phoenix and other popular application frameworks.

The purpose of Amber is not to create yet another framework, but to take advantage of the beautiful Crystal language capabilities and provide engineers and the Crystal community with an efficient, cohesive, well maintained web framework that embraces the language philosophies, conventions, and guidelines.

Amber borrows concepts that have already been battle tested and successful, and embraces new concepts through team and community collaboration and analysis, which also aligns with Crystal's philosophy.

## Installation & Usage

#### Homebrew (macOS/Linux)

```

brew install amber

```

#### Linux

Currently, the only option to install on Linux is from source. At the time of this writing, v1.4.1 is the current stable release, but you should use the most recent tag in place of that.

```

sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev libpq-dev libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libpcre3-dev libevent-dev

git clone https://github.com/amberframework/amber.git

cd amber

git checkout v1.4.1

shards install

make

sudo make install

```

If you're using ArchLinux or similar distro try:

```

yay -S amber

```

#### Common

To compile a local `bin/amber` per project use `shards build amber`

To use it as dependency, add this to your application's `shard.yml`:

```yaml

dependencies:

  amber:

    github: amberframework/amber

```
