How to create a localhost server to run an AngularJS project

Question

i have used Xampp and JetBrain WebStorm to run an AngularJS project. But it's complicated and low performance.Is there any other way to run an AngularJS project?

Answer 1

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.
