Equadratures main site

Introduction

This is the codebase for the main equadratures website.

Running webserver for development

This codebase is using vanilla HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and as such, any developer can use a local development server to get things going.

Even though the index.html file can be opened directly in a web-browser, for security reasons modern browsers by default block running JavaScript elements from local scripts (changing this default behaviour is not recommended), hence the need for running a local development server to run the JavaScript scripts.

This can be via http-server installed Node.js, Python's built-in option or many via many other options.

To start a webserver with Python, in a terminal, command prompt or Powershell, navigate to the code directory, and run the command:

python -m http.server

This will start a server on port 8000 by default. To load the website, navigate to "http://127.0.0.1:8000/" in a browser.

To specify a different port, this can be provided as an argument:

python -m http.server 8080

With this change, the website will now be accessible via "http://127.0.0.1:8000/"
