How to create a localhost server to run an AngularJS project

Question

I have used XAMPP and JetBrains WebStorm to run an AngularJS project. But it's complicated and has low performance. Is there any other way to run an AngularJS project?

Accepted Answer

If you're running node.js http-server is a super easy way to serve local files.

`cd` into your project folder and

```
npx http-server -o

# or, install it separately so you don't need npx
npm install -g http-server
http-server -o 
```

`-o` is to open browser to the page. Run `http-server --help` to view other options such as changing the port number

Don't have `node`?

these other one-liners might be easier if you don't have `node`/`npm` installed.

For example python comes preinstalled on most systems, so John Doe's python servers below would be quicker.

MacOS comes installed with ruby, so this is another easy option if you're running a Mac: `ruby -run -ehttpd . -p8000` and open your browser to `http://localhost:8000`.
