http-server problem

[FabrizioMember]

I need install http-server on antix!

sudo npm install -g http-server
sudo: npm: comando non trovato

First of all, try installing it properly!
Why do you have that syntax?

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

This is telling you than npm (node package manager) is not installed.

Either install it systemwide with apt or follow a guide to install npm for only your user (and then there is no need to use sudo). Study what is better for your case and select the easy way or the custom way.

If it’s a simple server, you can use things already on the system. Netcat of course, but real simple ones using Python (2 or 3), and Busybox (already on system) are there. Nice that you can keep the busybox server in the foreground if you want.

Start with sudo apt update; sudo apt install npm

Then you can proceed.

There are a variety of different web servers already package and installable via apt (apt-get). Not suggesting there is anything wrong with npm. Each to their own.

Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
