+Cowboy Static Files Server
+==========================
+
+To compile this example you need rebar in your PATH.
+
+Type the following command:
+```
+$ rebar get-deps compile
+```
+
+You can then start the Erlang node with the following command:
+```
+./start.sh
+```
+
+Cowboy will serve all the files you put in the priv/ directory.
+You can replace the filename given in the example URL with the
+one of a file you added to this directory to receive that file.
