Via start.ktor.io you can create a new Ktor application and configure the required functionality much like you can via IntelliJ IDEA. In addition you can also create an instance of TeamCity to start building your project!

maven {
// Only required if using EAP releases

Using your favourite IDE or code editor, you can simply reference the corresponding artifacts. All Ktor releases are published on Maven Central and you only need to include the Space repository if using Early Access releases. Find more information on manual configuration in the documentation.
