Im having trouble getting my hello world script to run

Im running the code on sublime text for my computer. Im not to sure if my code is correct, or if I am saving my file wrong. I even have trouble running my code on the work space that team tree offers.

This may be a long shot since there isn't any provided code, but I believe I had the same experience when I first started using angular on personal projects.

ANYONE FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME ON THIS:

Because you mentioned Sublime Text, I'm assuming you are not running this through localhost. When the html runs across your custom directive, is makes a call to your directory to generate that content.

Browsers on their own will not make these AJAX calls and you will need some sort of web server to make these calls happen. Opening html files via browsers do not make the calls on their own.

I use a free copy of Visual Studios when writing Angular projects. It comes with IIS Express that works as a web server on your local machine.

Just do a bit of research on angular and local hosting and I'm sure you'll find what you are missing.

It's true, angular apps require a sever for many things. One easy solution for locally running an angular application is to download http-server via npm with: $ npm i -S http-server and run http-server` in the directory root.
