Installation
Install Kong

Prepare your database
Configure Kong so it can connect to your database. Kong supports both PostgreSQL 9.5+ and Cassandra 3.x.x as its datastore.
If you are using Postgres, please provision a database and a user before starting Kong, ie:
CREATE USER kong; CREATE DATABASE kong OWNER kong;
Now, run the Kong migrations:
$ kong migrations up [-c /path/to/kong.conf]
Note: migrations should never be run concurrently; only one Kong nodes should be performing migrations at a time.
Start Kong
$ kong start [-c /path/to/kong.conf]

Kong is running:
$ curl -i http://localhost:8001/
