title: Running a local server with javascript
body: <p>I want to create a simple Javascript program with a HTML interface. The program will run in Chrome. I will also use node-serialport and Node.js to comunicate with an Arduino. I have a HTML and JavaScript file done, but I have no clue how to run it, or how to implement Node.js or node-serialport, nor how to "start" the sever. Initially it will <em>only</em> be running locally, but eventually it may become a real sever. For now, how do I run all that locally?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I'm using the sample code from <a href="http://brandontilley.com/2012/03/02/controlling-an-arduino-from-nodejs.html" rel="nofollow">http://brandontilley.com/2012/03/02/controlling-an-arduino-from-nodejs.html</a>, with the CoffeeScript converted into JavaScript.</p>
