Answer 1

This worked for me on Windows 8. Did not download any software!

In cmd:

1. Go to the directory that your file is in.
2. python -m SimpleHTTPServer
   Shows "Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ..."

Now, find out your system name. For Windows 8: Control Panel -> System. You will see the computer name here. Let's say it is "Abhinav".

Your local server will be hosted at "Abhinav.local:8000".
