## Installation

The only requirement is the [Go Programming Language](https://golang.org/dl/)

```sh
$ go get -u github.com/kataras/iris
```

Iris takes advantage of the [vendor directory](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bz5-UB7g2uPBdOx-rw5t9MxJwkfpx90cqG9AFL0JAYo) feature. You get truly reproducible builds, as this method guards against upstream renames and deletes.
