Getting started#

Three short pages that take you from nothing installed to a working scenario.

1. Installation — get the orchard binary on your machine
2. Setup — prerequisites and project layout
3. First scenario — write and run your first HCL scenario

Quick start. If you just want to see something work:

go install github.com/pthm/orchard@latest
orchard init my-project
cd my-project
orchard plan scenarios/hello.hcl --var dsn="postgres://localhost/dev"

orchard init scaffolds a starter scenario and component so you don’t have to write anything from scratch. The pages below explain what it generated and how to build on it.
