Hello I am following this tutorial from the AngularJS documentation.

I am trying to use this approach for learning this.

You will need an http server running on your system. Mac and Linux machines typically have Apache pre-installed, but If you don't already have one installed, you can use node to run scripts/web-server.js, a simple bundled http server.

My server is started but the only things that happens on localhost:8000 (the port its running on) is that files get listed.

How do I deploy with Node.js?

When I navigate to localhost:8000 in my browser, this is my server log.

112-108-15:scripts phe$ ./web-server.js
Http Server running at http://localhost:8000/
GET / Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/29.0.1547.65 Safari/537.36
GET / Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/29.0.1547.65 Safari/537.36

As you can see the instruction, you need to run

node ./scripts/web-server.js

and go to http://localhost:8000/app/index.html.

If you have node installed, go to the directory where your angular application is and type:

scripts/webserver.js

hit enter and voila!

You can visit your site at:

http://localhost:8000/

If you don't have node installed, install node and then go to the first step.

I have done this. And got the server started. What url should i use? I am trying localhost:8000
What happens when you go to that url?
You're running the command from the wrong directory (the scripts directory). Go up one directory cd .. and then type scripts/web-server.js
Now all the folders in angular-phonecat is listed instead.
so go to localhost:8000/app/index.html

You need to serve the files from a server on your local machine.

In the docs, it is mentioned you can serve the files from a node server.

However, if you do not want to download and run nodejs, and you are on Mac/Linux you have python already installed, you can also cd into the directory with index.html and run a python server - python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000. This will serve the files on port 8000. Go to localhost:8000 and you will see your files being rendered.

And, if you want to deploy it to production on a remote machine, I came across deployment of nodejs & angular application deployment to production using ansible. I used the same to deploy my first app to production.
