# Installation

Beego is a simple web framework, but it uses many third-party packages, so you have to install all dependency packages also.

- Before anything you do, you have to check that you installed Go in your computer, see more detail about Go installation in my book: [Chapter 1](https://github.com/Unknwon/build-web-application-with-golang_EN/blob/master/eBook/01.1.md)
- Use `go get ` to install Beego:

		go get github.com/astaxie/beego

- Install bee tools for fast-develop Beego applications:

		go get github.com/astaxie/bee

Good job, you're ready to Beego with powerful bee tools!
