**Step 3: Install npm packages** : In terminal go to your project root directory and run `npm install` command, It will download all the dependencies under node\_modules folder.

### **Running development server**

Run `ng serve` command to run dev server and access `http://localhost:4200/` to run your app/project on browser. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

As `ng serve` runs watch command which detects any change in project files so it will automatically reload your app on browser if you make any changes in files.

### **Production building**

Run `ng build` to build the project. The build will be stored in the `dist/` directory. Use the `-prod` flag for a production build. Use `--aot` flag for a AoT build. For exampl&#x65;**:** `ng build --prod --aot`
