Build

For linux, install autoconf first for jemalloc

git clone https://github.com/cloudwu/skynet.git
cd skynet
make 'PLATFORM'  # PLATFORM can be linux, macosx, freebsd now

Or you can :

export PLAT=linux
make

For freeBSD , use gmake instead of make .

Test

Run these in different console

./skynet examples/config	# Launch first skynet node  (Gate server) and a skynet-master (see config for standalone option)
./3rd/lua/lua examples/client.lua 	# Launch a client, and try to input hello.
