Description
===========

OpenResty is a full-fledged web application server by bundling the standard nginx core,
lots of 3rd-party nginx modules, as well as most of their external dependencies.

This bundle is maintained Yichun Zhang (agentzh).

Because most of the nginx modules are developed by the bundle maintainers, it can ensure
that all these modules are played well together.

The bundled software components are copyrighted by the respective copyright holders.

The homepage for this project is on [openresty.org](https://openresty.org/).

For Users
---------

Visit the [download page](https://openresty.org/en/download.html) on the `openresty.org` web site
to download the latest bundle tarball, and
follow the installation instructions in the [installation page](https://openresty.org/en/installation.html).

For Bundle Maintainers
----------------------

The bundle's source is at the following git repository:

https://github.com/openresty/openresty

To reproduce the bundle tarball, just do

```bash
make
```

at the top of the bundle source tree.

Please note that you may need to install some extra dependencies, like `perl` and `dos2unix`.
On Fedora 22, for example, installing the dependencies
is as simple as running the following commands:
