# Try it: Deployment
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|

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, use the [Angular Console](https://angularconsole.com "Angular Console web site") to serve the application, or install `Node.js` and serve your app with the Angular CLI.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Create a new Angular CLI workspace using the [`ng new`](cli/new "CLI ng new command reference") command:
|
|
|
|
```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.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
ng build --prod
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will produce the files that you need to deploy.
|
|
|
|
<div class="alert is-helpful">
|
|
|
|
If the above `ng build` command throws an error about missing packages, append the missing dependencies in your local project's `package.json` file to match the one in the downloaded StackBlitz project.
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
#### Hosting the built project
|
|
|
|
The files in the `dist/my-project-name` folder are static. This means you can host them on any web server capable of serving files (such as `Node.js`, Java, .NET), or any backend (such as Firebase, Google Cloud, or App Engine).
|
|
|
|
### Hosting an Angular app on Firebase
|
|
|
|
One of the easiest ways to get your site live is to host it using Firebase.
|
|
|
|
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. 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!
|
|
|
|
### Hosting an Angular app anywhere else
|
|
|
|
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.

|
Angular offers many more capabilities, and you now have a foundation that empowers you to build an application and explore those other capabilities:
|
|
|
|
* Angular provides advanced capabilities for mobile apps, animation, internationalization, server-side rendering, and more.
|
|
* [Angular Material](https://material.angular.io/ "Angular Material web site") offers an extensive library of Material Design components.
|
|
* [Angular Protractor](https://protractor.angular.io/ "Angular Protractor web site") offers an end-to-end testing framework for Angular apps.
|
|
* Angular also has an extensive [network of 3rd-party tools and libraries](resources "Angular resources list").
