hosting your sketches on a local server

The steps are as follows:

1. install nodejs and npm
2. using npm, install http-server
3. make a directory for your project
4. put the necessary files in the directory
5. run http-server from the command line in that directory
6. use your browser to access the IP address indicated by http-server
