Download gin-blueprint
Extract Files

After downloading, unzip the file to a location of your choice. You should see a folder with various files and subdirectories.
Set Up PostgreSQL

Ensure your PostgreSQL server is running. Create a new database for your application. You can do this using a PostgreSQL client or command line.

Example command to create a database:
```
CREATE DATABASE myappdb;
```
Configure the Application

Open the config.yaml file in a text editor. Modify the database configuration to point to the PostgreSQL database you created earlier. Look for the following section and update it:
```
database:
  host: localhost
  port: 5432
  user: your_db_user
  password: your_db_password
  name: myappdb
```
Run the Application

Open a command line or terminal. Navigate to the directory where you extracted the files. To start the application, run:
```
go run main.go
```
This command will launch your API server. You should see output indicating the server is running.
Test the API

You can test your API using tools like Postman or curl. To check if the server is running, navigate to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser. You should see a welcome message.
