If the atom live server is already installed, click Packages on the menu bar.

There will be a dropdown menu "atom-live-server", hit start

I had a same problem. When I used ctrl+alt+l shortcut, or followed instructions in this video, nothing really happened.

However, I solved it by restarting atom-live-server package:

  1. go to Atom Settings,
  2. click on Packages,
  3. click on Disable button within atom-live-server card,
  4. click on Enable button within atom-live-server card.

Now, when you use ctrl+alt+l shortcut, live server will start. You can quit live server with ctrl+alt+q shortcut.

What do you mean by "live server"? Would you like to test website on your local network? If so, the easiest solution is (assuming you have node.js installed) to install http-server command-line tool. Install it globally with npm install http-server -g, then navigate (of course in terminal) to the directory where your website is and type http-server command. Message like this will appear: Starting up http-server, serving ./ Available on: http://192.168.1.6:8080 http://127.0.0.1:8080 Hit CTRL-C to stop the server

To launch your website on your machine or another machine on the same network, just go to http:// ip :8080

If you don't have node.js, Python also offers similar command-line tool. You can use it with:

  • If Python version is 3.X python -m http.server
  • If Python version is 2.X python -m SimpleHTTPServer
