# Deploying an application
Deploying your application is the process of compiling, or building, your code and hosting the JavaScript, CSS, and HTML on a web server.
To deploy your application, you have to compile it, and then host the JavaScript, CSS, and HTML on a web server. Built Angular applications are very portable and can live in any environment or served by any technology, such as Node, Java, .NET, PHP, and many others.
This section builds on the previous steps in the [Getting Started](start "Try it: A basic application") tutorial and shows you how to deploy your application.
<div class="alert is-helpful">
## Prerequisites
Whether you came here directly from [Part 1](start "Try it: A basic app"), or completed the entire online store application through the [In-app navigation](start/start-routing "Try it: In-app navigation"), [Manage data](start/start-data "Try it: Manage data"), and [Forms for user input](start/start-forms "Try it: Forms for user input") sections, you have an application that you can deploy by following the instructions in this section.
</div>
## Share your application
StackBlitz projects are public by default, allowing you to share your Angular app via the project URL. Keep in mind that this is a great way to share ideas and prototypes, but it is not intended for production hosting.
1. In your StackBlitz project, make sure you have forked or saved your project.
1. In the preview page, you should see a URL that looks like `https://<Project ID>.stackblitz.io`.
1. Share this URL with a friend or colleague.
1. Users that visit your URL will see a development server start up, and then your application will load.
## Building locally
To build your application locally or for production, download the source code from your StackBlitz project by clicking the `Download Project` icon in the left menu across from `Project` to download your files.
Once you have the source code downloaded and unzipped, install `Node.js` and serve your app with the Angular CLI.
A best practice is to run your project locally before you deploy it. To run your project locally, you need the following installed on your computer:
* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/).
* The [Angular CLI](https://cli.angular.io/).
From the terminal, install the Angular CLI globally with:
```sh
npm install -g @angular/cli
```
This installs the command `ng` on your system, which is the command you use to create new workspaces, new projects, serve your application during development, or produce builds to share or distribute.
With the Angular CLI, you can use the command `ng` to create new workspaces, new projects, serve your application during development, or produce builds to share or distribute.
Create a new Angular CLI workspace using the [`ng new`](cli/new "CLI ng new command reference") command:
## Running your application locally
1. Download the source code from your StackBlitz project by clicking the `Download Project` icon in the left menu, across from `Project`, to download your files.
1. Create a new Angular CLI workspace using the [`ng new`](cli/new "CLI ng new command reference") command, where `my-project-name` is what you would like to call your project:
```sh
ng new my-project-name
```
In your new CLI generated app, replace the `/src` folder with the one from your `StackBlitz` download, and then perform a build.
1. In your newly CLI-generated application, replace the `/src` folder with the `/src` folder from your `StackBlitz` download.
1. Use the following CLI command to run your application locally:
```sh
ng serve
```
1. To see your application in the browser, go to http://localhost:4200/.
If the default port 4200 is not available, you can specify another port with the port flag as in the following example:
```sh
ng serve --port 4201
```
While serving your application, you can edit your code and see the changes update automatically in the browser.
To stop the `ng serve` command, press `Ctrl`+`c`.
{@a building}
## Building and hosting your application
1. To build your application for production, use the `build` command with the `prod` flag.
```sh
ng build --prod
```
This will produce the files that you need to deploy.
This command creates a `dist` folder in the application root directory with all the files that a hosting service needs for serving your application.

#### Hosting the built project
1. Copy the contents of the `dist/my-project-name` folder to your web server.
Because these files are static, you can host them on any web server capable of serving files; such as `Node.js`, Java, .NET, or any backend such as [Firebase](https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting), [Google Cloud](https://cloud.google.com/solutions/web-hosting), or [App Engine](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/getting-started/hosting-a-static-website).
For more information, see [Building & Serving](guide/build "Building and Serving Angular Apps") and [Deployment](guide/deployment "Deployment guide").

### Hosting an Angular app on Firebase
## What's next
One of the easiest ways to get your site live is to host it using Firebase.
In this tutorial, you've laid the foundation to explore the Angular world in areas such as mobile development, UX/UI development, and server-side rendering.
You can go deeper by studying more of Angular's features, engaging with the vibrant community, and exploring the robust ecosystem.
1. Sign up for a firebase account on [Firebase](https://firebase.google.com/ "Firebase web site").
1. Create a new project, giving it any name you like.
1. Add the `@angular/fire` schematics that will handle your deployment using `ng add @angular/fire`.
1. Install [Firebase CLI](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli) globally using `npm install -g firebase-tools`.
1. Connect your CLI to your Firebase account and initialize the connection to your project using `firebase login` and `firebase init`.
1. Follow the prompts to select the `Firebase` project you are creating for hosting.
- Select the `Hosting` option on the first prompt.
- Select the project you previously created on Firebase.
- Select `dist/my-project-name` as the public directory.
1. Deploy your application with `ng deploy`.
1. Once deployed, visit https://your-firebase-project-name.firebaseapp.com to see it live!
### Learning more Angular
### Hosting an Angular app anywhere else
For a more in-depth tutorial that leads you through building an application locally and exploring many of Angular's most popular features, see [Tour of Heroes](tutorial).
To host an Angular app on another web host, upload or send the files to the host.
Because you are building a single page application, you'll also need to make sure you redirect any invalid URLs to your `index.html` file.
Read more about development and distribution of your application in the [Building & Serving](guide/build "Building and Serving Angular Apps") and [Deployment](guide/deployment "Deployment guide") guides.
To explore Angular's foundational concepts, see the guides in the Main Concepts section such as [Angular Components Overview](guide/component-overview) or [Template syntax](guide/template-syntax).
