Trying to run lite-server

[pierpy]

I'm a node.js beginner...i'm trying to use lite-server in my app development.
I downloaded the repository in my app folder and I run lite-server command but nothing happens...can you help me to setup it correctly?

[johnpapa]

did you run npm install lite-server -g ? do that first then run it for globally using it.

run npm i lite-server --save-dev to run it for dev

[pierpy]

the first was ok...
but the second give me :

I am facing this same issue. I am trying to run angular2-quickstart tutorial on Linux - Ubuntu 14.4 LTS version. The server starts properly and browser launch with http://localhost:3000 as well but then it stops with error.

I am using "lite-server": "^1.3.2" as mentioned on the tutorial.

Find below error details.

Could you please advise on this.

[xavierdutreilh]

@pierpy, are you sure that you typed lite-server and not lite.server? The following line seems to say the opposite: npm ERR! command "/usr/bin/nodejs" "/usr/bin/npm" "i" "lite.server" "--save-dev".

@maheshk172, it seems to be an issue with browser-sync itself. BrowserSync/browser-sync#224 provides some answer on how to fix it.

If on Ubuntu, running the following command might solve the problem:
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p

very good @johnpapa thanks....

i've included bs-config.json and it works for me.

{
 "injectChanges" : true,
  "files" : ["./**/*.{.html, htm, css, js, ts}","*.html"],
  "server" : { "baseDir":"./"}
}

Hello John,

I am using the lite-server with AngularJS 2, but I have problem because when I try to get css files, the browser can't found it.

My folder structure is:

-- WebUI [root]
----- app (js,ts,map files)
----- css (css files to main page)
----- node_moudles
----- typings
-- index.html

That is my bs-config.json file:

{
  "port": 8000,
}

index.html has the following references:

 <!-- >> Custom Styles to Application [CSS] << -->
    <link href="css/app-custom-member-styles.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
    <link href="css/responsive-app.css" rel="stylesheet" />

But when I run, the browser can't find the css these files.

How can I do to lite server take internal folders (as work IIS)?

Thank you!

Hey cbolivar-sts, Did you find the solution to this issue?

[georanma]

this worked for me @johnpapa. Thanks.

Very weird though that my set up was working, and then just kind of stopped. Not sure what changed during the course of the tutorial class Im working on.

[MacgyverMartins]

For anyone that comes here to finding out a solution to command not found: lite-server error
here it is:
if you installed by running npm i lite-server --save-dev
you should add this command on your package.json
for example: "dev": "lite-server". And then run npm run dev

But if you instal using npm i lite-server -g, then you would be able to run lite-server from your terminal

I am also facing same issue with npm install lite-server --save-dev .
It starts installing but after a while it gets stuck at Fetchmetadata: sill resolveUsingNewModule.

[pazcur]

did you run npm install lite-server -g ? do that first then run it for globally using it.

run npm i lite-server --save-dev to run it for dev

Thank you @johnpapa that totally fixed my issue. For reference here's the error message that I got.

i am facing this issue while using terminal on vs code using windows OS

lite-server : The term 'lite-server' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name,
or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

[kamalraj21]

did you run npm install lite-server -g ? do that first then run it for globally using it.

run npm i lite-server --save-dev to run it for dev

Worked for me as well, Thank you!

[ShivamChawla01]
