          <p>This article is one in a series of articles about three.js.
The first article was <a href="fundamentals.html">about three.js fundamentals</a>.
If you haven't read that yet you might want to start there.</p>
<p>Before we go any further we need to talk about setting up your
computer as a development environment. In particular, for security reasons,
WebGL cannot use images from your hard drive directly. That means
in order to do development you need to use a web server. Fortunately
development web servers are super easy to setup and use.</p>
<p>First off if you'd like you can download this entire site from <a href="https://github.com/gfxfundamentals/threejsfundamentals/archive/gh-pages.zip">this link</a>.
Once downloaded double click the zip file to unpack the files.</p>
<p>Next download one of these simple web servers.</p>
<p>If you'd prefer a web server with a user interface there's
<a href="https://greggman.github.io/servez">Servez</a></p>
<p></p><div class="threejs_image border">
  <img class="" src="../resources/servez.gif">
</div>

<p></p>
<p>Just point it at the folder where you unzipped the files, click "Start", then go to
in your browser <a href="http://localhost:8080/"><code class="notranslate" translate="no">http://localhost:8080/</code></a> or if you'd
like to browse the samples go to <a href="http://localhost:8080/threejs"><code class="notranslate" translate="no">http://localhost:8080/threejs</code></a>.</p>
<p>To stop serving click stop or quit Servez.</p>
<p>If you prefer the command line (I do), another way is to use <a href="https://nodejs.org">node.js</a>.
Download it, install it, then open a command prompt / console / terminal window. If you're on Windows the installer will add a special "Node Command Prompt" so use that.</p>
<p>Then install the <a href="https://github.com/greggman/servez-cli"><code class="notranslate" translate="no">servez</code></a> by typing</p>
<pre class="prettyprint showlinemods notranslate notranslate" translate="no">npm -g install servez
</pre><p>If you're on OSX use</p>
<pre class="prettyprint showlinemods notranslate notranslate" translate="no">sudo npm -g install servez
</pre><p>Once you've done that type</p>
<pre class="prettyprint showlinemods notranslate notranslate" translate="no">servez path/to/folder/where/you/unzipped/files
</pre><p>Or if you're like me</p>
<pre class="prettyprint showlinemods notranslate notranslate" translate="no">cd path/to/folder/where/you/unzipped/files
servez
</pre><p>It should print something like</p>
<p></p><div class="threejs_image ">
  <img class="" src="../resources/servez-response.png">
</div>

<p></p>
<p>Then in your browser go to <a href="http://localhost:8080/"><code class="notranslate" translate="no">http://localhost:8080/</code></a>.</p>
<p>If you don't specify a path then servez will serve the current folder.</p>
<p>If either of those options are not to your liking
<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12905426/what-is-a-faster-alternative-to-pythons-servez-or-simplehttpserver">there are many other simple servers to choose from</a>.</p>
<p>Now that you have a server setup we can move on to <a href="textures.html">textures</a>.</p>
