Scout Buddy needs its server running

You have opened this file straight from the folder. Scout Buddy is not a static page — it has an API, a database and a login, so there is nothing for the browser to show until the server is running.

On Windows, double-click start-windows.cmd instead. Or, from a terminal in this folder:

npm install
npm run setup
npm start

Then open http://localhost:8787.

First run takes a few minutes while it installs, builds and loads the demo troop. See START-HERE.md for the sign-in details and what to look at first.
