I'm trying to follow the Angular tutorial and I can't pass step 00 part 2. I used node.js and try to run the command scripts/web-server.js. It just shows me "..." and when I go to the local host port 8000 it says couldn't connect.

any ideas?

  • If that script runs correctly, it prints "Http Server running at localhost:8000" to the terminal. Which version of node do you have? Commented Oct 20, 2013 at 8:15

    Despite your reference to this tutorial, please show us what your code looks like and how you call it. Commented Oct 20, 2013 at 8:15
  • @ksimons I used the latest version which is 10.20 Commented Oct 20, 2013 at 8:31
  • @luksch I didn't use any code as of yet, i assume the web-server.js is already made somewhere Commented Oct 20, 2013 at 8:33
  • So from the root of the angular-phonecat directory you type node ./scripts/web-server.js and it doesn't work? Commented Oct 20, 2013 at 8:46

You just need to:

git clone git://github.com/angular/angular-phonecat.git
cd angular-phonecat
node ./scripts/web-server.js

yeah did exactly that, it gave me a module error module.js:340 throw err; ^ Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\scripts\web-server.js' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10) at startup (node.js:119:16) at node.js:901:3
Are you sure you're typing it exactly as above? I've just tried it on Windows as well and it works perfectly. Just do it in a normal Windows command prompt.
AH I just for the "." before the /script and it work perfectly now thank you
What worked and didnt for me: Worked: added the angular-phonecat directory using the tutorial, with git clone --depth=14 github.com/angular/angular-phonecat.git Didn't work:the git command above (in a different directory):fatal: unable to connect to github.com Didn't work: the node command "node ./scripts/web-server.js" (even copy/pasting, with "." included. Error message as described 3 comments above by user2809321 BTW Do I really need to get node.js working in order to use angular.js? Other tutorials out there just include a link to the library on Google

So the URL you are meant to enter into the browser is actually http://localhost:8000/angular-phonecat/app/index.html

It depends on the directory you are in, if you just put: http://localhost:8000 in you will be able to navigate to the directory and open the index.html graphically.

Go to http://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial and follow the steps there. Specifically do the following - In command prompt navigate to your solution directory - i.e. Users\"<>"\angular-phonecat and run

npm install

This command will download the following tools, into the node_modules directive:

Bower - client-side code package manager

http-server - simple local static web server

Karma - unit test runner

protractor - end 2 end test runner

and then run the following command -

npm start

and now you should be able to navigate to localhost:8000/app/index.html on your browser !
