## Installation

To install `zy`, you need Rust `1.59.0` or higher. You can then use `cargo` to build everything:

```console
cargo install zy
```

You can also install the latest version (or a specific commit) of `zy` directly from GitHub.

```console
git clone https://github.com/miraclx/zy.git
cargo install --path zy
```

## Usage

```console
zy
```

_This will start serving your current directory on <http://localhost:3000> by default._

_...you can also specify a different port or base directory:_

```console
zy /path/to/serve
```

_...or perhaps different addresses:_

```console
zy -l 5000 -l 127.0.0.1:8080 -l 192.168.1.25
```

You can run `zy --help` to see all available options.

```console
$ zy --help

Zy was originally inspired by [sfz](https://github.com/weihanglo/sfz), [serve](https://github.com/vercel/serve) and [http-server](https://github.com/http-party/http-server). It is written in [Rust](https://rust-lang.org) and uses [actix](https://github.com/actix/actix-web) as the web framework.
