How can I run a html file from terminal? [closed]

Answer 1

I think what you want is simply this.

Open the terminal

Navigate to the directory containing the HTML file

And simply type: browse (your file name) without the parentheses of course.

This will run your HTML file in Firefox browser.

Answer 2

This works :

browsername <filename>

Example: google-chrome index.html

Answer 3

You can make the file accessible via a web server then you can use curl or lynx

Answer 4

For those like me, who have reached this thread because they want to serve an html file from linux terminal or want to view it using a terminal command, use these steps:-

1)If you want to view your html using a browser:-
Navigate to the directory containing the html file
If you have chrome installed, Use:-

google-chrome <filename>.html

                OR
Use:-

firefox <filename>.html

2)If you want to serve html file and view it using a browser
Navigate to the directory containing the html file
And Simply type the following on the Terminal:-

pushd <filename>.html; python3 -m http.server 9999; popd;

Then click the I.P. address 0.0.0.0:9999 OR localhost:9999 (Whatever is the result after executing the above commands). Or type on the terminal :-

firefox 0.0.0.0:9999

Using the second method, anyone else connected to the same network can also view your file by using the URL:- "0.0.0.0:9999"

Answer 5

Skip reading the html and use curl to POST whatever form data you want to submit to the server.

Answer 6

python -mhtmllib test.html or curl http://www.comanyname.com/somepage.html|python -mhtmllib -
