Running the Project
To view your project, you can use a local server. If you have Node.js installed, you can use a simple HTTP server like http-server:
npm install -g http-server
http-server .
Explanation:
- The first command, npm install -g http-server, installs the http-server package globally on our system. This package provides a simple HTTP server that can serve static files from a directory.
- The second command, http-server, starts the http-serve in the current directory (`.`), which means it will serve files from the current directory.
- After running this command, we should see an output indicating that the server is running, along with information about the address and port where we can access the server (usually `http://localhost:8080`).
