Running

To view the demo on your computer, you need to be running a local web server.

If you have python installed, you can easily run a web-server from the command line.

First check which version of python you have installed:

python --version

If it is python 2.xx, then run the following command:

cd /path/to/shaw_bros

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 3000

If it is python 3.xx, you can use:

cd /path/to/shaw_bros

python3 -m http.server 3000

If node is more your style and you have npm installed, try out http-server:

# install the package globally, if you don't have it already.
# NOTE: you only need to do this once.
npm install http-server -g

cd /path/to/interactive-network-v4

http-server -p 3000
