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.
