You need to install a piece of software that allows you to "serve" your files as if they were a webpage. The important elements the software will run are apache, mysql and python. MAMP is popular and free for Mac and XAMMP is a good windows option but there are lots of others. Once you have that installed and you are able to "start servers" you can open a browser and browse to "localhost".
