Trouble running with with live-server

[thedixieflatline]

npm live-server works and reports as running but in the browser either page not found or response error. I spent a bit of time trying to resolve but it was obviously something related to the location of the index.html etc. I tried all of the command line options but still no luck.

git clone
npm install
npm run build
npm start

So I swapped out live-server for webpack-dev-server (watch mode is by default) with following package.json config changes. New dependancy and new npm start command. This worked first time. Not sure if you have a local setup that is setup to run the way it is in the repo or you have something installed globally etc.
I just wanted to get it to run straight off a git clone without any local setup.

I also had problems with live-server. I had to run it in a separate shell to get it working. I was going to switch to webpack-dev-server as well.
