Hi! I'm Etiene, I wanted to learn Lua and decided to go kamikaze and build a MVC framework. We are still in pre-pre alpha, but flourishing nicely. Thankfully, I have been having help from collatorators like @felipedaragon and from mentors like @hishamhm.

How do I use this thing?
This is the install manual for Linux: https://github.com/Etiene/sailor/blob/master/docs/INSTALL_LINUX.md
This is the install manual for Windows:
https://github.com/Etiene/sailor/blob/master/docs/INSTALL_WIN.md
Sailor also works on Mac, we tested installing Apache from brew but we didn't make a manual yet! For now you can try following the Linux manual and adapting. I hope it works! If it doesn't, contact me and I'll try to help =)
