Setting up for the web

Interacting with and debugging Wasm modules will be done in the browser, which means we'll need a way to serve up a folder containing our example files. As we discussed in Chapter 2, Elements of WebAssembly - Wat, Wasm, and the JavaScript API, WebAssembly is integrated into the browser's JavaScript engine, but you'll need to make sure you're using a browser that supports it. In this section, we will provide instructions for cloning the book examples repository. We will also review how to quickly set up a local web server for testing and evaluating browser options to ensure that you're able to develop locally.
