When preparing an experiment script for an online experiment, it can be useful to test your work on your computer and avoid uploading every change to the ILS Labs web experiments server.

Our current recommendation for running a local server is to use the following browser extension for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-server-for-chrome/ofhbbkphhbklhfoeikjpcbhemlocgigb

It’s very easy to set up and run, instructions are available here.
