2. For Creating Server we need to download http-server plugin through node. Installing globally via npm cmd or system cmd:
npm install http-server -g
This will install http-server globally so that it may be run from the command line for any directory. This will help to make any directory as app server. Usually http-server install in user directory > appdata > roaming > npm .if you call http-server this time through cmd then browsing root will be your user root C:\Users\loopcoder.You can test it by browsing http://localhost:8080
