Answer 1

To add to Alan Wells's elaborate answer here is a quick fix

Run a Local Server

you can serve any folder in your computer with Serve

First, navigate using the command line into the folder you'd like to serve.

Then

npx i -g serve
serve

or if you'd like to test Serve with downloading it

npx serve

and that's it! You can view your files at http://localhost:5000
