Actually, I have everything installed.
- Node.js is installed
- The Project files downloaded.
And I'm running a Windows Machine.
Using the Powershell as the command line for Node.js
So I was wondering, how can I open files in the browser as done in the video through workspaces?What if I want to do it locally. With all the local tools. Without Workspaces. How would I do that? thank you for your time.

Courses Plus Student 17,662 PointsNafis Fuad there is a course on gulp in one of the javascript tracks. its a great dev tool and is really powerful, but requires a lot of setup.
http-server docs can be found here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server install globally this is a much simpler solution. you can run the command: http-server [path] where path is a path to the directory you wish to pull from.
