+## Local Development
+
+Browsers enforce strict security permissions to prevent you from reading files out of the local file system. To develop locally, you must run a local web server rather than using file://…. Node’s [http-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server) is recommended. To install:
+
+```
+npm install -g http-server
+```
+
+To run:
+
+```
+http-server & 
+```
+
+This will start the server on <http://localhost:8080> from the current working directory.
