## Prerequisite
## Requisites
Now Gin requires Go 1.6 or later and Go 1.7 will be required soon.
For now, Gin will run on Go 1.6 or later. Using go 1.7 is highly recommended as it will become the minimum supported version soon.
To check the version of your Go installation, type in your Terminal emulator:
## Quick start
```sh
# assume the following codes in example.go file
$ cat example.go
```
`$ go version`
## Quickstart project ("Ping, pong")
This example code responds "Pong" when a user `GET`s 0.0.0.0t:8080/ping.
To start, `cd` into your `$GOPATH/src` and create a new folder for your project.
After that, create a new file called `example.go` with the following contents:
```go
package main

r.Run() // listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080

Save that file. In that same directory, run:
```
# run example.go and visit 0.0.0.0:8080/ping on browser
$ go run example.go
```
Now, open your favorite browser and go to `0.0.0.0:8080/ping`. If you see `Pong!`, congratulations! You have just finished your first Gin project.
