http-server
is a simple, zero-configuration command-line http server. It is powerful enough for production usage, but it's simple and hackable enough to be used for testing, local development, and learning.
Installation via npm
. If you don't have npm
yet:
curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
Once you have npm
:
npm install http-server -g
This will install http-server
globally so that it may be run from the command line.
http-server [path] [options]
[path]
defaults to ./public
if the folder exists, and ./
otherwise.
mkdir myapp
cd myapp/
jitsu install http-server
If you do not have jitsu
installed you can install it via npm install jitsu -g
node bin/http-server
Now you can visit http://localhost:8080 to view your server
jitsu deploy
