Methods of Starting a Quick HTTP Server from the Command Line (alternatives to liveserver)

Read Original

This article provides practical, one-line commands to launch a local HTTP server for static file serving directly from the terminal. It covers methods using Python (both version 2 and 3), Ruby (with Webrick), Node.js (via npx with lite-server, http-server, or serve), and PHP. It's aimed at developers who need a quick, lightweight development server without relying on IDE extensions like VSCode's liveserver.
