Using node and opening index.html

[me_dumb47]

Okay, so I’ve just started writing on choice script and… As far as ik, once you change something in the text files, you can check the changes in by ’ run server’, but when I ran it, it showed this

Is there something that I’m doing wrong??
P.s. me dumb

Can you show more information about what files you’ve changed? What server are you running?..

Open in firefox.
(If that doesn’t work, contact the email listed on the error.)
