I followed the Getting Started instructions for Cowboy, and I\'ve got Cowboy running and listening on port 8080, and I got the Hello Erlang!
response when I ent
A summary of the issues/suggestions from the comments discussion
For running your Erlang app (in this case including gun as a dependency), you need to have the path to beam and .app files discoverable to the shell. When using erlang.mk, the easiest way to do that would be running the release using make run
On Cowboy side, to have Websocket handled correctly, you need to have a handler defined in your cowboy routes. See example in Cowboy Websocket example
See also Gun user guide for more details about handling Websocket in Gun
