Live Server with NodeJS

The NodeJS live-server package runs a temporary server displaying any HTML/CSS/JS resources in the current folder. It automatically reloads the page in your browser when any of these files change.

  • 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.
