Usually, a live server is launched from its extension in VS code. But there is another way where you can launch your web pages in a browser and edit them live.

Things needed to achieve this:

• Npm.
• No prior CLI knowledge is required.

If you don't know what npm is and how to install it.

Npm is a package manager and it helps us install and maintain versions of packages(apps, software, extensions). It is a cli-based interface where with just a bit of commands you can install any package directly to your preferred directory.

To install npm:

• install Node.js in your computer
• open node.js terminal
• type this command in your windows terminal

Installing npm (caution: happens only when node.js is installed)

npm install

After installing it you are ready to go

• Open your computer terminal and type the below given code

To install Live Server

npm install -g live-server

Finally use this command to launch the website

live-server

Use the above code in the directory where your webpage is stored.
