Step 4: Visit Your Application

• Open Your Web Browser
  Navigate to http://localhost:4567 in your web browser. You should see the message "Hello, world!".
•  

Step 5: Optional: Adding More Routes

• Add More Routes
  You can extend your Sinatra application by defining additional routes. Use methods like get, post, put, delete, etc., to create various endpoints. Here’s an example with additional routes:

 # app.rb

 require 'sinatra'

 get '/' do

 'Welcome to my Sinatra app!'

 end

 get '/about' do

 'This is a basic Sinatra application.'

 end

 post '/submit' do

 "You submitted: #{params[:text]}"

 end

Step 6: Add a Gemfile (Optional)

• Create a Gemfile
  To manage your gems more effectively, you can create a Gemfile in your project directory and specify your dependencies there.

 # Gemfile

 source 'https://rubygems.org'

 gem 'sinatra'

• Install Dependencies

  After creating your Gemfile, run the following command to install the dependencies specified within it: bundle install.

 bundle install

• Run Your Application with Bundler

• To start your Sinatra application using Bundler, run the following command: bundle exec ruby app.rb.

 bundle exec ruby app.rb

That’s It!

You’ve created a basic Sinatra application. I hope you enjoyed building it.
