three.js script won't work

I'm reading a book "Learning Three.js - The JavaScript 3D Library for WebGL - 2nd Edition" and first example in book which is not working at all.

Can someone please give me a direction why? I'd tried with "How can I enable WebGL in my browser?" and it didn't help. But examples on three.js / examples are working as they should.

I've extracted three.js and put example bellow in build folder where three.js is located.

Do I need local web server to test WebGL?

Now I try to debug and code in Visual Code. Any other recommendations?

<html>

<head>
    <title>Example 01.02 - First Scene</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="three.js"></script>
    <style>
        body {
            /* set margin to 0 and overflow to hidden, to go fullscreen */
            margin: 0;
            overflow: hidden;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>

<!-- Div which will hold the Output -->
<div id="WebGL-output">

<!-- Javascript code that runs our Three.js examples -->
<script type="text/javascript">

    // once everything is loaded, we run our Three.js stuff.
    function init() {

        // create a scene, that will hold all our elements such as objects, cameras and lights.
        var scene = new THREE.Scene();

        // create a camera, which defines where we're looking at.
        var camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(45, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 0.1, 1000);

        // create a render and set the size
        var renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
        renderer.setClearColorHex();
        renderer.setClearColor(new THREE.Color(0xEEEEEE));
        renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);

        // show axes in the screen
        var axes = new THREE.AxisHelper(20);
        scene.add(axes);

        // create the ground plane

        cube.position.x = -4;

        cube.position.z = 0;

        // add the cube to the scene
        scene.add(cube);

        // create a sphere
        var sphereGeometry = new THREE.SphereGeometry(4, 20, 20);
        var sphereMaterial = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({color: 0x7777ff, wireframe: true});
        var sphere = new THREE.Mesh(sphereGeometry, sphereMaterial);

        document.getElementById("WebGL-output").appendChild(renderer.domElement);

        // render the scene
        renderer.render(scene, camera);
    }
    window.onload = init;

the line

renderer.setClearColorHex()

should be removed.

Here is new code with a jsfiddle (using three.js from the net):

<html>

  <head>
    <title>Example 01.02 - First Scene</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/three.js/89/three.js"></script>
    <style>
      body {
        /* set margin to 0 and overflow to hidden, to go fullscreen */
        margin: 0;
        overflow: hidden;
      }

    </style>
  </head>

  <body>

    <!-- Div which will hold the Output -->
    <div id="WebGL-output">

    <!-- Javascript code that runs our Three.js examples -->

        // create a render and set the size
        var renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
