As @aidos and @abraham_lincoln pointed out, an "Hello World" example is simply putting that string in a file named hello.cfm on the root of the web application and calling it with your browser, e.g. http://localhost:8080/hello.cfm http://localhost:8080/hello.cfm
Before you can do that though, you need to install the CFML engine. I recently published a tutorial that shows how to install Lucee in Tomcat very easily:

To make your Hello World example a bit more interesting, you can add the tag `<cfoutput>` with some dynamic content, e.g.
<cfoutput>
Hello World on #dateTimeFormat(now(), "mm/dd/yyyy 'at' HH:nn:ss")#
</cfoutput>
See example at https://trycf.com/gist/226c10cbe74d4083743a617b25398224/lucee5?theme=monokai https://trycf.com/gist/226c10cbe74d4083743a617b25398224/luce...
- nunobrito 8y agoThis would be a great "Hello World" snippet to thrill the newcomers on the website. That simple paragraph as you wrote. Enough already to entice further curiosity now to explore on the dynamic content portion and start thinking on where this thing can be used on my daily tasks. All the best with Lucee.
