Answer 1

To answer your query, start with opening your terminal and type

npm install -g http-server

Following which please Go to the root folder that you want to serve you files and type:

http-server ./

Finally, do read the output of the terminal and for which something with this line will appear:-  http://localhost:8080 will appear.

Everything on there will be allowed to be goten for example:
 

background: url('http://localhost:8080/waw.png');
