Quick install example for Unix, using Xavante web server:
luarocks install sailor
sailor_create "my app" /var/www
cd /var/www/my_app
lua start-server.lua
ATTENTION: If you are upgrading from version 0.2.1 to 0.3 you might have an issue with shared files during app creation. If it's the case, then you need to remove the current sailor version before installing the new one.
