Running-Your-Charting-Library.md

The Charting Library works out of the box, but you have to set up your HTTP server to bind Library’s folder to a certain domain name.

Let’s start the Charting Library on your local computer

1. Clone this repository

Cloning a repository

2. Start an HTTP server

You may set up any HTTP server to listen to any of your host’s free ports and refer to the folder containing the Charting Library. Below you will find instructions on how to start several most common HTTP servers.

Python 2.x

If you have Python installed on your computer then you can use it to start an HTTP server in a quick manner.

Execute the following command in the Charting Library folder:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 9090

Python 3.x

python -m http.server 9090

NodeJS

First install http-server:

npm install http-server -g

Start http-server using the following command in the Charting Library folder:

http-server -p 9090

NGINX

• Install NGINX

• Open the config file nginx.conf and write the following text in the http section of the file:

  server {
      listen       9090;
      server_name  localhost;
  
      location / {
          root ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_THE_CHARTING_LIBRARY;
      }
  }

• Replace ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_THE_CHARTING_LIBRARY with the absolute path to the charting library folder.

• Run nginx

3. Open the Charting Library in your browser

Once you are done running the HTTP server, you will have your Charting Library ready.

Open http://127.0.0.1:9090 in your browser.
