03 Installation - pimmey/axala-docs GitHub Wiki

Installing our theme is extremely simple — just upload all the files to your server.

In order to develop the theme locally, you're gonna need to instal a simple HTTP server.

Installing http server

Chrome and Firefox might give you some trouble because of AJAX calls, but you can always install a simple http server to avoid that. You're gonna need to install Node.js — simply download and install it. You're also gonna to use npm as a package manager (it comes bundled with Node.js).

Use the following command to install http-server:

npm install http-server -g

Then navigate to the project directory and run your server:

cd path/to/project
http-server

You should see the following message:

Starting up http-server, serving ./
Available on:
  http://127.0.0.1:8080
  http://192.168.1.248:8080
Hit CTRL-C to stop the server

Just open either of those addresses in Chrome or Firefox to test your web-site locally.
