Can we remove the suggestion to use python to run a web server? It's only easy if you have python.

Remove mention of python and clarify "things to know"

Maybe we could have a page on the website about the web server requirement and discussion about solutions. Then we could link to that page from the various places that need this information.

If you're on a mac or linux then (i believe) python comes installed on all of those systems so the python command would work. If you're on a PC maybe we recommend XAMP or WAMP?

Any serious web development requires a local web server. This is a bit like trying to help people choose a computer, it's a pretty large topic by itself.

For example, doesn't Apache also come pre-installed on a Mac? Why not just turn that on vs. python? WAMP and XAMP are major heavyweight solutions, I wouldn't want to go there for Windows.

In any case, I think this deserves serious consideration, this is why I start by suggesting we bottleneck this question to a standard page.

Given the pre-existing requirement for bower and npm, I'd suggest using serve as you do in your video, and people who want to use something else presumably know enough to do so.
