You can also try live-server. It's doing the same job but also watching file changes and if you edit any file in your directory it will restart server and refresh your browser.

Late to the party, but here is a solution in case anyone else runs into the problem. (This is actually mentioned in the video).

Type the following in your terminal:

npm install http-server -g

You should no longer receive the "file not found" error when attempting to use http-server, and should be able to use it and follow along from then on.

Good luck!
