The code doesn't work outside of "workspace".

Hi there! To run these files locally you will need to be running a web server on your local machine. Take a look at the Teacher's Notes for more information on how to do this.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

The easiest way to get it to work without much setup is to use Brackets - it's a free code editor which will set up a local server for you so you dont't actually need to do anything yourself. It worked for me!

Its best to use Chrome with the web server extension for this course along with the workspace environment.
Personal I download the workspace as a zip. Then use Nano in cmd or terminal to edit the js, html files since I used to working with Nano as an editor. Of course you need to install node.js to run the js files on your OS.
