+# extentions

+fes new extentions
+```
+
+> **Know what you are doing?** Delete this file. Have fun!
+
+## Project Structure
+
+Inside your Fes project, you'll see the following directories and files:
+
+```
+.
+├── Fes.toml
+├── README.md
+└── www
+    └── index.lua
+```
+
+Fes looks for `.lua` files in the `www/` directory. Each file is exposed as a route based on its file name.
+
+## Commands
+
+All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
+
+| Command                   | Action                                           |
+| :------------------------ | :----------------------------------------------- |
+| `fes run .`               | Runs the project at `.`                          |
+
+## What to learn more?
+
+Check out [Fes's docs](https://docs.vxserver.dev/static/fes.html).
