## 🏃 **Running GoFr**

Here's a simple example to get a GoFr application up and running:

```go
package main

import "gofr.dev/pkg/gofr"

func main() {
app := gofr.New()

app.GET("/greet", func(ctx *gofr.Context) (interface{}, error) {
return "Hello World!", nil
})

app.Run() // listens and serves on localhost:8000
}
```

To run this code:

```bash
$ go run main.go
```
