For now if people want to just learn d3.js real quick try this!
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js + ExpressJS allows us to run a local server on our machine with javascript!. Download and install Node [here].(https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
When you pull/clone/download this project from github, you need to install some dependencies to get the server going.
git clone <THIS_PROJ>
cd THIS_PROJ
npm install
Once these dependencies are installed just run this command in the root folder of the project in the terminal!
npm run start
This starts the server and hosts the project on the following url:
http://localhost:3000/
