Answer 1

• Install Node js - https://nodejs.org/en/

• go to folder where you have html file:

  • In CMD, run the command to install http server- npm install http-server -g
  • To load file in the browser run - http-server

• If you have specific html file. Run following command in CMD.- http-server fileName

• by default port is 8080

• Go to your browser and type localhost:8080. Your Application should run there.

• If you want to run on different port: http-server fileName -p 9000

Note : To run your .js file run: node fileName.js
