Do this

1.
dub init suliman vibe.d

2. You might see an info message like this

Deprecated use of init type. Use --type=[vibe.d | deimos | 
minimal] in future.
Successfully created an empty project in 
'/home/christoph/D/vibed/Tests/suliman'.

3. Now you have a small project. Go to the folder 
`suliman/source` and open the file app.d

4. Replace the whole code in there with

import vibe.d;

shared static this()
{

   auto settings = new HTTPServerSettings;
   settings.port = 8080;
   settings.bindAddresses = ["::1", "127.0.0.1"];

   auto router = new URLRouter;
   router.get("*", serveStaticFiles("./public/"));
   listenHTTP(settings, router);

   logInfo("Please open http://127.0.0.1:8080/ in your browser.");
}

5. Save an build the project

6. Create a file called `index.html` in the (sub)folder `public` 
that is in the folder `suliman`, i.e. `suliman/public/`

7. Paste this code into it:

<html>

<p>
   Hello, Suliman!
</p>

</html>

8. Save it and navigate in your browser to

http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html

You should see "Hello, Suliman!" in your browser window now.

Hope this helped you.
