Alternative live-server setup

Here's an alternative setup for a Node.js dev server that I used:

Verify that Node.js is installed. If you see anything when you run which npm in a terminal, it is. If not, follow the instructions at nodejs.org to install.

Install live-server: npm install -g live-server

Move your terminal to where your pages live: cd <path-to-content>

Start the server: live-server .

Open localhost:8080 in a browser.

If you want to set live-server up as an npm script, you can navigate to your project directory, run npm init, and then setup server under scripts. Make sure to install it as a dev dependency with --save-dev if you go this route (see below).

"scripts": { "serve": "live-server" }, "devDependencies": { "live-server": "^1.2.0" }
