How to launch atom live server step by step?

I am learning JavaScript from Scratch . The Instructor is using ATOM editor. I am not able to launch live server. Please suggest me steps.

Solution 1:

To install atom-live-server:

1. open Atom
2. under edit hit preferences
3. choose install
4. type atom-live-server in the search
5. click install

To launch atom-live-sever:

1. open your project folder on atom
2. under packages choose atom-live-server
3. click start server

Done.

Solution 2:

I had a same problem. When I used ctrl+alt+l shortcut, or followed instructions in this video, nothing really happened.

However, I solved it by restarting atom-live-server package:

1. go to Atom Settings,
2. click on Packages,
3. click on Disable button within atom-live-server card,
4. click on Enable button within atom-live-server card.

Now, when you use ctrl+alt+l shortcut, live server will start. You can quit live server with ctrl+alt+q shortcut.

Solution 3:

What do you mean by "live server"? Would you like to test website on your local network? If so, the easiest solution is (assuming you have node.js installed) to install http-server command-line tool. Install it globally with npm install http-server -g, then navigate (of course in terminal) to the directory where your website is and type http-server command. Message like this will appear: Starting up http-server, serving ./ Available on: http://192.168.1.6:8080 http://127.0.0.1:8080 Hit CTRL-C to stop the server

To launch your website on your machine or another machine on the same network, just go to http:// ip :8080

If you don't have node.js, Python also offers similar command-line tool. You can use it with:

• If Python version is 3.X python -m http.server
• If Python version is 2.X python -m SimpleHTTPServer
