Make sure the terminal is visible and that you can see the command prompt, such as:

You can now use the terminal built right into this window, instead of your computer’s Terminal app, for the rest of this tutorial.

Start the dev server
Section titled Start the dev server-
Run the command to start the Astro dev server by typing into VS Code’s terminal:
Now you should see confirmation in the terminal that Astro is running in dev mode. 🚀
View a preview of your website
Section titled View a preview of your websiteYour project files contain all the code necessary to display an Astro website, but the browser is responsible for displaying your code as web pages.
-
Click on the
localhost
link in your terminal window to see a live preview of your new Astro website!(Astro uses
http://localhost:4321
by default if port4321
is available.)Here’s what the Astro “Empty Project” starter website should look like in the browser preview:
While the Astro server is running in dev mode, you will NOT be able to run commands in your terminal window. Instead, this pane will give you feedback as you preview your site.
You can stop the dev server at any time and return to the command prompt by typing Ctrl + C in the terminal.
Sometimes the dev server will stop on its own while you are working. If your live preview stops working, go back to the terminal and restart the dev server by typing npm run dev
