If you don't have them try installing theme (Exmaple for Ubuntu):
$ sudo apt install nginx git
If you want Pylocalhost to serve and render PHP files you will also need php-fpm Version 7.0 or higher(Exmaple for Ubuntu):
$ sudo apt install php8.0 php8.0-fpm
$ sudo systemctl enable --now php8.0-fpm
Installation (Beta version)
👉 NOTE: The version below is unstable(Beta) --> Click Here for the latest stable version (1.6.1) 👈
Download preinstaller.py file which is in the repository.
You can get it from terminal using wget:
$ wget --no-dns-cache https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mwxgaf/pylocalhost/master/preinstaller.py
After that just run the file with python 3:

In some OSs may be you must type python instead of python3
Then run the installer.py file(it will be created once you ran preinstaller.py) with python 3 under sudo:
