Installation¶

Requirements¶

• Go 1.22 or later
• Any operating system (Linux, macOS, Windows)

Install¶

Add Marten to your Go module:

go get github.com/gomarten/marten

Verify Installation¶

Create a simple test file:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/gomarten/marten"
)

func main() {
    app := marten.New()
    fmt.Println("Marten installed successfully!")
    _ = app
}

Run it:

go run main.go
# Marten installed successfully!

Import Paths¶

// Core framework
import "github.com/gomarten/marten"

// Built-in middleware
import "github.com/gomarten/marten/middleware"

Version Pinning¶

For production, pin to a specific version in your go.mod:

require github.com/gomarten/marten v0.1.0

Updating¶

To update to the latest version:

go get -u github.com/gomarten/marten

Zero Dependencies¶

Marten has zero external dependencies. It only uses Go's standard library, which means:

• ✅ No supply chain risks
• ✅ No version conflicts
• ✅ Smaller binary sizes
• ✅ Faster builds
• ✅ Easier auditing

Next Steps¶

Now that Marten is installed, let's build something:
