So, I am a following a tutorial that uses angular seed to write my first angular application.

Angular seed comes with a web-server.js file that essentially runs a node server so you can emulate a web server. The tutorial calls for starting the server in the command prompt.

The issue is that every time I run the file for starting the Node server, Visual Studio 2013 opens and then eventually tells me that access has been denied. This is not the intended result.

Do I need to set up IIS for use with Node? Why is VS opening when I start a node web server from the command prompt??

At present .js files are configured to run with VS in your Windows.

http://nodejs.org/download/ - you need to Download and Install node.js for Windows and make sure node is in PATH and you can run it from windows prompt cmd.

C:\> node -v
v0.10.22

To run angular seed web server, simply run go to the web-script.js's directory and run the it with node:

cd angular-seed/scripts
node web-server.js

I'm stupid. All I had to do was prefix the web-server.js with the node command. Thanks for this.
