This page explains how to set Crow up for use with your project (***For versions 0.3+2 and lower***).
##Requirements
- C++ compiler with C++14 support.
- C++ compiler with C++11 support.
- Crow's CI uses g++-9.3 and clang-7.0 running on AMD64 (x86_64) and ARM64v8
- boost library (1.70 or later).
- boost library (1.64 or later).
- **(optional)** ZLib for HTTP Compression.
- **(optional)** CMake and Python3 to build tests and/or examples.
- **(optional)** Linking with jemalloc/tcmalloc is recommended for speed.
!!!note
While using Boost 1.70 or later is recommended, it may be possible to compile a Crow application with version 1.64

Here's how you can install Crow on your favorite GNU/Linux distro.
# Getting Crow
## Requirements
- C++ compiler with at least C++11 support.
- boost library & development headers (1.64 or later).
- **(optional)** ZLib for HTTP Compression.
- **(optional)** OpenSSL for HTTPS support.
- **(optional)** CMake and Python3 to build tests and/or examples.
!!!note
Crow's CI uses `g++-9.3` and `clang-7.0` running on AMD64 (x86_64) and ARM64v8 architectures.
<br><br>
## Using a package Manager
You can install Crow on GNU/Linux as a pre-made package
=== "Debian/Ubuntu"
Simply download Crow's `.deb` file from the [release section](https://github.com/CrowCpp/Crow/releases/latest) and Install it.
=== "Arch"
Crow is available for pacman through AUR, you only need to run `pacman -S crow`
<br><br>
## Release package
Crow provides an archive containing the framework and CMake files, just copy the `include` folder to `/usr/local/include` and `lib` folder to `/usr/local/lib`.<br><br>
You can also download the `crow_all.h` file and simply include that into your project.
<br><br>
## Installing from source
### Using CMake
1. Download Crow's source code (Either through github's UI or by using<br> `git clone https://github.com/CrowCpp/Crow.git`).
2. Run `mkdir build` inside of crow's source directory.
3. Navigate to the new "build" directory and run the following:<br>
`cmake .. -DCROW_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DCROW_BUILD_TESTS=OFF`
4. Run `make install`.
!!!note
You can ignore `-DCROW_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DCROW_BUILD_TESTS=OFF` if you want to build the Examples and Unit Tests.
<br>
### Manually
Crow can be installed manually on your Linux computer.
#### Multiple header files
=== "Project Only"
Copy Crow's `include` directory to your project's `include` directory.
=== "System wide"
Copy Crow's `include` directory to the `/usr/local/include` directory.
#### Single header (crow_all.h)
!!!warning
`crow_all.h` is recommended only for small, possibly single source file projects, and ideally should not be installed on your system.
navigate to the `scripts` directory and run `./merge_all.py ../include crow_all.h`. This will generate a `crow_all.h` file that you can use in your projects.
!!!note
You can also include or exclude middlewares from your `crow_all.h` by using `-i` or `-e` followed by the middleware header file names separated by a comma (e.g. `merge_all.py ../include crow_all.h -e cookie_parser` to exclude the cookie parser middleware).
# Compiling your project
## Using CMake
In order to get your CMake project to work with Crow, all you need are the following lines in your CMakeLists.txt:
```
find_package(Crow)
target_link_libraries(your_project PUBLIC Crow::Crow)
```
From there CMake should handle compiling and linking your project.
## Directly using a compiler
All you need to do is run the following command:
```
g++ main.cpp -lpthread
```
You can use arguments like `-DCROW_ENABLE_DEBUG`, `-DCROW_ENABLE_COMPRESSION -lz` for HTTP Compression, or `-DCROW_ENABLE_SSL -lssl` for HTTPS support, or even replace g++ with clang++.
!!!warning
If you're using a version of boost prior to 1.69, you'll need to add the argument `-lboost_system` in order for you Crow application to compile correctly.

Here's how you can install Crow on your Mac.
# Getting Crow
## From a [release](https://github.com/CrowCpp/Crow/releases)
### Archive
Crow provides an archive containing the framework and CMake files, You will only need the `include` folder inside that archive.
### Single header file
You can also download the `crow_all.h` file which replaces the `include` folder.
## From Source
To get Crow from source, you only need to download the repository (as a `.zip` or through `git clone https://github.com/CrowCpp/Crow.git`).
### include folder
Once you've downloaded Crow's source code, you only need to take the `include` folder.
### Single header file
You can generate your own single header file by using navigating to the `scripts` folder with your terminal and running the following command:
```
python3 merge_all.py ../include crow_all.h
```
This will generate a `crow_all.h` file which you can use in the following steps
!!!warning
`crow_all.h` is recommended only for small, possibly single source file projects. For larger projects, it is advised to use the multi-header version.
# Setting up your Crow project
## Using XCode
1. Download and install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
2. Run `brew install boost` in your terminal.
3. Create a new XCode project (macOS -> Command Line Tool).
4. Change the following project settings:
=== "Multiple Headers"
1. Add header search paths for crow's include folder and boost's folder (`/usr/local/include`, `/usr/local/Cellar/boost/include`, and where you placed Crow's `include` folder)
2. Add linker flags (`-lpthread` and `-lboost_system` if you're running an old version of boost)
=== "Single Header"
1. Place `crow_all.h` inside your project folder and add it to the project in XCode (you need to use the File -> )
2. Add header search paths for boost's folder (`/usr/local/include`, and `/usr/local/Cellar/boost/include`)
3. Add linker flags (`-lpthread` and `-lboost_system` if you're running an old version of boost)
5. Write your Crow application in `main.cpp` (something like the Hello World example will work).
6. Press `▶` to compile and run your Crow application.
# Building Crow's tests/examples
1. Download and install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
2. Run `brew install cmake boost` in your terminal.
3. Get Crow's source code (the entire source code).
3. Run the following Commands:
1. `mkdir build`
2. `cd build`
3. `cmake ..`
4. `make -j12`
!!!note
You can add options like `-DCROW_ENABLE_SSL`, `-DCROW_ENABLE_COMPRESSION`, or `-DCROW_AMALGAMATE` to `3.c` to build their tests/examples.

Here's how you can install Crow on your Windows machine.
# Getting and Compiling Crow
## Using A package manager
### VCPKG
Crow can be simply installed through VCPKG using the command `vcpkg install crow`
## Manually (source or release)
### Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 and VCPKG
The following guide will use `example_with_all.cpp` as the Crow application for demonstration purposes. VCPKG will be used only to install Crow's dependencies.
1. Generate `crow_all.h` by navigating to the `scripts` folder and running `python3 merge_all.py ..\include crow_all.h`.
2. `git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git`
3. `.\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat`
4. `.\vcpkg\vcpkg integrate install`
5. Create empty Visual Studio project.
6. In solution explorer, right click the name of your project then click `Open Folder in File Explorer`.
7. Copy `crow_all.h`, `example_with_all.cpp`, `vcpkg.json` to opened folder.
8. Add `crow_all.h` to `Header Files` and `example_with_all.cpp` to `Source Files`.
9. In solution explorer, right click the name of your project then click `Properties`.
10. Under `vcpkg`, set `Use Vcpkg Manifest` to `Yes` and `Additional Options` to `--feature-flags="versions"`.
11. Set `Debug/Release` and `x64/x86`.
12. Run.

##Catchall routes
**Introduced in: `v0.3`**<br><br>
By default, any request that Crow can't find a route for will return a simple 404 response. You can change that to return a default route using the `CROW_CATCHALL_ROUTE(app)` macro. Defining it is identical to a normal route, even when it comes to the `const crow::request&` and `crow::response&` parameters being optional.
!!!note
For versions higher than 0.3 (excluding patches), Catchall routes handle 404 and 405 responses. The default response will contain the code 404 or 405.
