Installing Node.js live-server

Installing Node.js live-server

The NodeJS live-server package runs a temporary server displaying any HTML/CSS/JS resources in the current folder. It automatically reloads the page in your browser when any of these files change.

OS X

• Verify that Node.js is installed. If you see anything when you run which npm in a terminal, it is. If not, follow the instructions at nodejs.org to install.
• Install live-server: npm install -g live-server
• Move your terminal to where your pages live: cd <path-to-content>
• Start the server: live-server .
• Open localhost:8080 in a browser.

Windows

Linux

I am facing an issue with the npm live-server

Hi everyone. I'm new in this npm live-server. I'm having quite a problem, I tried to google it but no result. Well, every time I type live-server in my terminal, it shows me the LISTING DIRECTORY in the local host, instead of loading the website I created. I don't know what's the problem, I checked everything my teacher said, and it's all good except for that.

I followed the instructions to install live-server but when I try to run it I get this error:

live-server .

same question

@dtrealm @mnicknish If you're seeing an error about SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier, your version of Node.js is out of date. Running node -v will tell you what version it is. You can install a newer one at https://nodejs.org/en/, or use something like nvm if you need to have multiple versions installed at once.

i keep getting this error, i am stuck, plese help.

I also have this problem

npm install -g live-server
worked fine with me too

Is this something that can stage the edits for json templates and pages -- like from HubSpot specifically? I cannot find anything online saying yes or no, and it's only previewing file trees for me in the browser.

i keep getting this error, i am stuck, plese help.

I am stuck!

Try to update nodeJs

I've installed on MacOS 10.14.6 using
npm install -g live-server
and
sudo npm install -g live-server
running node v12.6.0.

live-server
results in
bash: live-server: command not found

I have previously added
export PATH=/Users/Zeesy/.npm-packages/bin
to .bash_profile, but am getting the same error message with or without it. Any recommendadtions on troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Can anybody tell me how I can resolve this!??

Try using yarn instead of npm:
$ yarn add live-server@1.2.1
Of course, you must also have yarn installed. You can do this using brew or npm or a couple other ways (on Yarn's website):
$ npm install --global yarn

or

$ brew install yarn

I am totally fed up of this problem. I am also not able to use live-server extension also so please reply me if you have any solution...

@TanmayMokal,
Check Five Server instead!

sudo npm install -g live-server

Thank you so much! It has helped :)

Hey @peter543210, maybe you didn't install it globally with the -g flag?

Try to run the command: npm install -g live-server

Then live-server should be ready to be used.

i install live server using command
npm install -g live-server.
but error show on the screen
The term 'live-server' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program.

Manual way
git clone https://github.com/tapio/live-server

cd live-server

npm install # Local dependencies if you want to hack

npm install -g # Install globally

i install live server using command
npm install -g live-server.
but error show on the screen
The term 'live-server' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program.

Hi all — please note that I'm not involved with live-server and can't provide help or support for using it. This is just a quick reference that assumes node.js is (1) properly installed and (2) on the $PATH. For help with live-server specifically or global installs with npm generally it may be better to ask on Stack Overflow.

I did like npm install -g live-server but this is what is showing below

It sounds like you're using a CLI other than Bash or Zshell. Are you running Powershell, perhaps? If so: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55314557/how-to-sudo-on-powershell-on-windows
