.. _installation_guide/installation/startup: Test application ================ It's time to check whether the installation has been successful or not. To do this, we will start a **Genropy** webserver locally and try to access the start page. Starting the daemon ---------------------- First, we need to start in a separate terminal window the process called ``daemon``: it will manage server-side sessions. So, open a terminal console and start the ``daemon`` service as follows:: gnr web daemon .. hint :: Although multiple Genropy webservers can be started simultaneously on the same machine on different ports, the daemon process must be started only once and remains alive in the background. wsgiserve ------------ To test the installation we need to start a webserver by launching the ``wsgiserve`` command from another terminal window than the one used for the ``daemon`` service. With this command we start an instance of a Genropy application; the general syntax is:: gnr web wsgiserve instance_name --option In this case we run the instance ``checkinstall`` which is an application that has the sole purpose of publishing a confirmation page:: gnr web wsgiserve checkinstall From the terminal we will receive confirmation that our application is served locally on port 8080:: serving on 0.0.0.0:8080 view at http://127.0.0.1:8080 Just click on this link to see if everything is working as intended: http://127.0.0.1:8080 Starting with Genropy --------------------- Now that you installed Genropy on your machine you can begin to deepen your knowledge of the framework by consulting the documentation published on https://www.genropy.org In particular, we suggest you to check the following useful resources: - `User manual `_ - `Tutorial to create a simple billing application `_ - `Genropy interactive lessons `_ A useful compendium to tackle Genropy learning is the example project :ref:`sandbox` .. sectionauthor:: Davide Paci
