+# Actix web + Diesel + Yew SSR
+
+Basic complete web application with rust.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Install SQLite
+
+```sh
+# on OpenSUSE
+sudo zypper install sqlite3-devel libsqlite3-0 sqlite3
+
+# on Ubuntu
+sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev sqlite3
+
+# on Fedora
+sudo dnf install libsqlite3x-devel sqlite3x
+
+# on macOS (using homebrew)
+brew install sqlite3
+```
+
+### Initialize SQLite Database
+
+```sh
+
+# UNIX
+cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features sqlite
+
+# IF NOT WORK USE THIS
+
+cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features sqlite-bundled
+
+echo "DATABASE_URL=db/test.db" > .env
+diesel migration run
+```
+
+There will now be a database file at `./test.db`.
+
+### Running Server
+
+```sh
+cargo run
+
+# Started http server: 127.0.0.1:8080
+```
+
+### Explore The SQLite DB
+
+```sh
+sqlite3 test.db
+```
+
+```
+sqlite> .tables
+sqlite> SELECT * FROM users;
+```
+
+## Using Other Databases
+
+You can find a complete example of Diesel + PostgreSQL at: [https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/tree/master/frameworks/Rust/actix](https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/tree/master/frameworks/Rust/actix)
