# static-file-http-server: a simple static server
### static-file-http-server is a simple, zero-configuration command-line static server written in Rust. It is powerful enough for production usage, but it's simple and requires not configuration. It can also produce a single binary file that hosts your files independently which is what we recommend for production.

<br />

## Installation:
### Using npm:
`npm install --global static-file-http-server`

### Using cargo:

`cargo install static-file-http-server`

<br />

## How to use:
`static-file-http-server [OPTIONS] <PATH>`
