+
+Install the [http-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server) npm package. Including '-g' sets the installs the package gloabally, allowing you to use it as a command line tool.
+
+'''npm install http-server -g'''
+
+Clone the mods repository.
+
+Use the command line to navigate to the root of the mods repository.
+
+Start up a server by typing:
+
+'''http-server'''
+
+Open a browser tab and go to '127.0.0.1:8080' which is the same as 'http://localhost:8080' to view the server that you just started.
+
+Depending on how to need to use mods you can start local servers located in 'mods/js', for example, if you start from the root of the mods repository:
+
+'''cd js'''
+'''node printserver.js'''
