If you need a simple web server to test your local website on a MacOS using python, you can use the http module and spin up a quick server to test your site. Below are the steps to do it.
Steps
-
Open terminal
-
Navigate to the folder which you desire to host
-
Use the below command with the specific port number
python3 -m http.server 9000
Example
If I have all my web files hosted in a folder call itbusinesshub, I would navigate to that folder using the terminal and use python's http.server module to host the files at port 9000.
The server then can be accessed at localhost:9000.
