  <p>I want to make a PWA with Angular so I followed the instructions on the  <a href="https://angular.io/guide/service-worker-getting-started#serving-with-http-server" rel="noreferrer">angular.io website</a> to the smallest detail yet it doesn't open the usual "Welcome to your app" page. What might be the problem?</p>
  
  <p>I am have the following installed:</p>
  
  <p>Angular CLI: 6.0.1<br>
  Node: 8.9.4<br>
  OS: linux x64<br>
  Angular: 6.0.1</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/0BCOp.png" rel="noreferrer">This is what the console displays when i click on pwaApp and the browser  directs me to blank page</a></p>
  
  <p>What my be the problem? And how can I fix it? Thanks in advance</p>
