### Run a Web Server
The next step is to run a web server so that you can view the Open MCT Web
client (including the plugins you add to it) in browser. The HTTP server option
that is recommended here, for simplicity, is http-server,

client (including the plugins you add to it) in browser. Any web server can
be used for hosting OpenMCTWeb, and a trivial web server is provided in this
package for the purposes of running the tutorials. The provided web server
should not be used in a production environment
To run:
To run the tutorial web server
npm install http-server -g
http-server <path to Open MCT Web repository>
node app.js
### Viewing in Browser
Once running, you should be able to view Open MCT Web from your browser at
[http://localhost:8080/](). [Google Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/) is
recommended for these tutorials, as Chrome is Open MCT Webs “test-to” browser.
The browser cache can sometimes interfere with development (masking changes by
[http://localhost:8080/]() (assuming the web server is running on port 8080,
and OpenMCTWeb is installed at the server's root path).
[Google Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/) is recommended for these
tutorials, as Chrome is Open MCT Webs “test-to” browser. The browser cache

with Developer Tools expanded, and “Disable cache” selected from the Network
tab, as shown below.
