USGS-Earthquakes-AngularJS

A simple Angular JS Project to retrieve and display earthquake geojson data

How to run

Python

Open the terminal and navigate to the folder where index.html is and run this command:

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

Note: $ represents the terminal prompt. You shouldn't type it in your code. It is also possible you may need to run this on python 2 or find a python 3 equivalent.

then you go to your web browser and type http://localhost:8000

NodeJS

Create a simple javascript file called server.js in the same directory as index.html. Copy and paste this in

var http = require('http');

http.createServer(function (request, response) {
    response.writeHead(200, {
        'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
        'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' : '*'
    });
    response.end('<a href="index.html">Go to index.html</a>');
}).listen(8000);

Save and open the terminal. Navigate to the index.html directory and run:

node server.js

IIS Manager on Windows

Search IIS in the windows search bar on Desktop to open the Internet Information Services Manager application. Click on your Domain name at the top left of the application under connections. Click on the arrow button to open more options. Then select sites.

If IIS doesn't pop up in the search result, search program and features, enable it and also enable IIS from the list of allowed program and features.

Right click on sites and add web site ...

On the new dialog box that pops up, enter any name in the site nam box. On the physical path option, locate the parent folder where the file is stored i.e. the folder where index.html is inside. It will initially be the earthquake folder if you didn't rename it. Tick the start website immediately tick box if not already ticked.

You should now be able to view the website on http://localhost. Don't forget to stop the server on IIS when you are finished. It's located on the actions box at the right hand side of the IIS Manager.

You can aslso use other programming languages to run a simple server in the index.html location and it should work just fine.
