Step 4 – Serve Angular Application
Your basic Angular application is ready to serve. Change directory to hello-angular4 and run your Angular application using ng serve command.
You can access your angular application on localhost port 4200, Which is the default host and port used by Angular application.
http://localhost:4200
You can change host and port for running Angular application by providing –host and –port command line arguments. The IP address 0.0.0.0 listens on all interfaces and publically accessible.
Conclusion
