New page

Easiest way for Mac and Win is to use MAMP - https://www.mamp.info/en/

'''WINDOWS''' - MAMP:
* Download the installer from https://www.mamp.info/en/downloads/ (300MB) - will have copy on thumbdrive in the class
* Install it, unchecking ‘Install MAMP PRO in addition to MAMP’
* By default it will install to C:\MAMP
* Now start MAMP from the window start menu
* Click on Start Servers
* Click on ‘Open start page’
* The page http://localhost/MAMP/ should now open up in your browser.
* Default documents folder is usually C:\MAMP\htdocs

'''MAC''' - Fastest way is to use Python SimpleHTTPServer
* All new Macs have Python installed. First open Terminal (Which can be found inside Applications > Utilities). Check which version of python you have by typing "python" into Terminal. Then navigate to the folder with your files inside it.
<pre>cd /path/to/project/folder </pre>

Use Python's built-in http server:
<pre># Python 2.x
python -m SimpleHTTPServer

# Python 3.x
python -m http.server</pre>

Files from that directory will be served up at localhost under port 8000, so you can view the files from that directory if you type this into the browser:
<pre>http://localhost:8000/</pre>
