10,018 PointsHow do I set up the simple web server on a mac?
The teacher notes say to navigate to a directory and enter this
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
Do I have to do this with terminal?

If you're running a webserver on your local machine, you can use the web address "localhost:8000" where "8000" is the port number you specify in the command "python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000"
