You can run your file inhttp-server.

1> HaveNode.js installed in your system.

2> In CMD, run the commandnpm install http-server -g

3> Navigate to the specific path of your file folder in CMD and run the commandhttp-server

4> Go to your browser and typelocalhost:8080. Your Application should run

You can usepython -m http.server. By default the local server will run on port 8000. If you would like to change this, simply add the port numberpython -m http.server 1234

If you are using python 2 (instead of 3), the equivalent command ispython -m SimpleHTTPServer

If you are running Python3, you may want to instead try:

python -m http.server

Seethis answer.

If you haveNode.js installed then from the folder you want to share you can simply run:

npx http-server

To add CORS you can run:

npx http-server --cors

On macOS:

Open Terminal (or iTerm) installHomebrew then runbrew install live-server and run live-server.

You also can installPython 3 and runpython3 -m http.server PORT.

On Windows:

If you have VS Code installed open it and install extension liveserver, then click Go Live in the bottom right corner.

Alternatively you can install WSL2 and follow the macOS steps via apt (sudo apt-get).

On Linux:

Open your favorite terminal emulator and follow the macOS steps via apt (sudo apt-get).

• 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 is8080

• Go to your browser and typelocalhost:8080. Your Application shouldrun there.

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

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

As Nora suggests, you can use the python simple server.Navigate to the folder from which you want to serve your html page, then executepython -m SimpleHTTPServer.Now you can use your web-browser and navigate tohttp://localhost:8000/ where your page is being served.If your page is named index.html then the server automatically loads that for you. If you want to access any other page, you'll need to browse tohttp://localhost:8000/{your page name}

You can try installing one of the following localhost softwares:

1. xampp
2. wamp
3. ammps server
4. laragon

There are many more such softwares but the best among them are the ones mentioned above. they also allow domain names (for example:example.com)

Another option if you have Node.js installed,

npx serve .

It will serve you a static site/single page application in the current directory.

Reference

You can install Xampp and run apache serve and place your file to www folder and access your file at localhost/{file name}or simply at localhost if your file is named index.html

You can also use PHP to server the files in http

make sure you installed PHP, run the below command to verify

php --version

if PHP is not installed run below command to install it

sudo apt install php7.4-cli

Once after the installation go to the file path and execute the below command in the terminal

php -S localhost:8000

justnpx serve it's more compatible with esmodule

I have explored many methods as I wanted to host virtual tour on local host as it wasn't working as browser was opening it as a file. I think following is by far the easiest method.

1. Download VS Code from microsft
2. Install "Live Server" extension in vs code
3. Add folder and run HTML file.

I found this method fromhere in Youtube video.

• html
• localhost
