So last week we made it all the way to cloud staging, time to make it all the way to versioned hosting in github (our rep is at https://github.com/sbu-bmi/workshop, which exposes MIME at https://sbu-bmi.github.io/workshop). Here's mine:
in a Mac:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
or, if you have Python 3 instead
python3 -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
in a PC:
1. to https://www.python.org/downloads/ and download the python binary (either version)
2. add path to python to path environmental variable
Node.js Web Servers
As a root or Administrator:
npm install webserver
node -g node_modules/webserver/webserver.js
or
npm install -g local-web-server
ws -p 9000
Lets look at a few apps and find supporting services
